Simple Cycles in Bayesian Belief Networks: Probabilistic Distribution and an Inconsitent Assignment
Abstract
One of the major problems in developing the theory of bayesian belief networks remains the problem of having directed cycles in the belief network graph. In this paper we consider a belief network consisting of a single cycle of n vertices. We suggest techniques for handling this network. We prove that in order to check consistency in the general case one has to consider the joint probability distribution of all the vertices in the graph.References
