Probabilistic Reasoning and
Bayesian Belief Networks
A.Gammerman (ed), Alfred Waller Ltd, 1995
Probalistic Reasoning and Baysian Belief Networks cover The rapid growth and challenging nature of the data and information facing many industries and businesses have created a need for mathematical models and methods to extract knowledge from such data. This has led to the creation of entirely new classes of computational and statistical tools. These tools include intelligent computer systems, which use heuristics to improve their decision-making procedures in the light of given examples. This book summarises some important work in the development of computational models of Bayesian Belief Networks for use in this process, and their application to medicine, transport and defence.
