Jun 29, 2019 · $\begingroup$ The Markov blanket of a node in a Bayesian network consists of the set of parents, children and spouses (parents of children), under certain assumptions. One of them is the faithfulness assumption, which, together with the Markov condition, implies that two variables X and Y are conditionally independent given a set of variables Z ...

Dec 27, 2020 · The Markov boundary is the smallest such subset, i.e. the Markov blanket with "no redundant information."

Jan 14, 2018 · EDIT: I just noticed the fact that, in the right image, B is actually part of the Markov Blanket of A as it is a parental node of a child of A. A should, by definition, be independent of all nodes outside it's Markov Blanket. The answer now talks independence of A and B given the blank node in between.

The Markov Blanket is a shield from the rest of the network, such that if we know the values in that 'shield', then no other variables in the network provide any additional information about A. The key here is that we are talking about what happens when we observe those values, this doesn't change the factorization of a joint given the ...

Jul 9, 2020 · My intuition says that this is all Y,X such that Y not in the markov blanket of X. My rationale is that when performing marginalization, for any given term in the marginalization sum, values have been chosen for every node in the markov blanket, rendering the terms chosen for nodes outside the markov blanket irrelevant.

May 5, 2019 · Although the common (wiki, or course notes) definition is for just one variable, one can think of a scenario where we can merge the two nodes (or think of a joint RV, e.g. $(X,Y)$) and define a blanket for them. The idea of the blanket in 1 RV is separating that random variable from the rest of the network such that given the blanket nodes the ...

Nov 10, 2006 · What is a Markov Blanket? A Markov Blanket is a set of variables that can fully predict the value of a target variable in a network, while excluding all other variables in the network. How is variable independence proven using a Markov Blanket? Variable independence can be proven in a network by showing that the Markov Blanket of a target ...

Mar 17, 2016 · A PGM is called a Bayesian network when the underlying graph is directed, and a Markov network/Markov random field when the underlying graph is undirected. Generally speaking, you use the former to model probabilistic influence between variables that have clear directionality, otherwise you use the latter; in both versions of PGMs, the lack of ...
