Learning Bayesian networks based on order graph with ancestral constraints

作者:

Highlights:

• An efficient framework is proposed for learning Bayesian Networks with ancestral constraints.

• The new framework pruned the violated nodes and suboptimal structures with the guidance of a novel revenue function.

• The accuracy of the observed network based on the proposed framework has significantly improved against some approximate approaches.

• The time and space complexity of the proposed framework are significantly reduced compared to the state-of-the-art framework.

• The new framework is robust even under the situations where errors exist with domain knowledge.
