Bayes’ Net Representation

A di directed, d, acyclic graph ph, o , one n node p per r random v variable

each possible assignment to parent variables

- As a product of local conditional distributions
- To see what probability a BN gives to a full assignment,
multiply all the relevant conditionals together:
