Strong Completeness and Faithfulness in Bayesian Networks

Artificial Intelligence 2013-02-21 v1

Abstract

A completeness result for d-separation applied to discrete Bayesian networks is presented and it is shown that in a strong measure-theoretic sense almost all discrete distributions for a given network structure are faithful; i.e. the independence facts true of the distribution are all and only those entailed by the network structure.
