Abstract

This paper presents a Bayesian method for constructing Bayesian belief\nnetworks from a database of cases. Potential applications include\ncomputer-assisted hypothesis testing, automated scientific discovery, and\nautomated construction of probabilistic expert systems. Results are presented\nof a preliminary evaluation of an algorithm for constructing a belief network\nfrom a database of cases. We relate the methods in this paper to previous work,\nand we discuss open problems.\n
