Please Help: Markov, Bayes & co. by duesentrieb 2004-02-05 12:15:51
can onyone recommend a book (or much better: an online document) about probabilistic networks? I have my Knowledge-Representation finals coming up next week (Major of Informatics), and i just don't get tha hang of the probability-stuff. I though i somehow hat worked it out, but all the examples turn out wrong...

What i need is an understandable explanation of Markov- and Bayes-Graphs, Clique-Trees, RIP, etc. especially with respect to building/maintaining distributions of probabilities (via the "potential representation" i think, but i havn't really understud that part).

As i'm a programmer, i would much preffer a operational explanation over a declarative on (i.e. i want to know "how to build it", not "how it's defined"). Oh yea, german would be nice, but english is quite OK. My main problem is that i get all confused when i have to work that stuff out of symbolic mathematical/logical definitions. I would much preffer a "hands on" aproach.

...please help...
