Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We consider Bayesian network structure learning when discrete and continuous variables are present. The problem is rather hard and very few results are available. I particular, we had to assume that each continuous variable is Gaussian and no two discrete variable should be between a continuous variable. In this research, we mathematically prove consistency (the correct structure is estimated as the sample size increases). In particular, we proposed applications to independence testing and estimation of mutual information.
