A Dynamic Programming Algorithm for Learning Chain Event Graphs

Chain event graphs are a model family particularly suited for asymmetric causal discrete domains. This paper describes a dynamic programming algorithm for exact learning of chain event graphs from multivariate data.

Description
Summary:Chain event graphs are a model family particularly suited for asymmetric causal discrete domains. This paper describes a dynamic programming algorithm for exact learning of chain event graphs from multivariate data. While the exact algorithm is slow, it allows reasonably fast approximations and provides clues for implementing more scalable heuristic algorithms. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
