Glossary
- Random Variable:
-
A variable whose value may vary due to random behavior and hence is assigned a stochastic value
- Graphical Model:
-
A graph composed of nodes and edges, in which the nodes are typically random variables and an edge represents a direct dependency between two nodes
- Topology:
-
The abstract structure of a graphical model, e.g., the configuration of the nodes and edges
- Conditional Probability:
-
The value of a random variable is dependent or conditioned on the value of one or more other random variables
- Conditional Independence:
-
Knowledge of the value of a random variable can make other variables independent of each other, depending on the graph topology
- Parameters:
-
The numerical values associated with a graphical model. In most cases, this is a prior probability or a conditional probability
- Problem Graph:
-
A graphical model that contains...
