Bayesian Network David Grannen Mathieu Robin Micheal Lynch Sohail Akram Tolu Aina Bayesians Networks based on a statistical approach presented by a mathematician, Thomas Bayes in 1763. This is an approach for calculating probabilities among several variables that are causally related but for which the relationships cant easily be derived by experimentation. Bayes formula provides the mathematical tool that combines prior knowledge with current data to produce a posterior distribution Bayesian networks are complex diagrams that organize the body of knowledge in any given area by mapping out cause-and-effect relationships among key variables and encoding them with numbers that represent the extent to which one variable is likely to affect another. This approach allows scientists to combine new data with their existing knowledge or expertise. In the late 1980 on the basis of work of Judea Pearl, a professor of computer science at UCLA, AI researchers discovered that Bayesian networks offered an efficient way to deal with the lack or ambiguity of information that has hampered previous systems. ??? Bayesian networks provide an overarching graphical framework that brings together diverse elements of AI and increases the range of its likely application to the real world Bayesian applications Decision-making using Bayesian methods has many applications in software applications. Best-known example is Microsofts Office Assistant .When a user calls up the assistant, Bayesian methods are used to analyse recent actions in order to try to work out what the user is attempting to do, with this calculation constantly being modified in the light of new actions. ?? Microsoft is the most aggressive in exploiting Bayesian approach. The company offers a free Web service that helps customers diagnose printing problems with their computers and recommends the quickest way to resolve them. Another Web service helps parents diagnose their childrens health problems. Sc
