marginals at the last two iterations. We only plot the diseases which had non-negligible posterior probability. Loopy Belief Propagation . s---=-o� . a-----' range of prior To test this hypothesis, we reparameterized the pyra mid network as follows: we set the prior probability of the "1"

selection attempts to find the most likely (MAP) model, and uses its structure to answer these questions. However, when the amount of available data is modest, there might be many models that have non-negligible posterior. Thus, we want compute the Bayesian posterior of a feature, i.e., the total posterior

for the law of motion of the variance covariance matrix and proposes an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for the model likelihood/posterior numerical evaluation. The main empirical conclusions are: 1) both systematic and non-systematic mone-tary policy have changed during the last forty years

Bayesian network classifiers (BNC) have received considerable attention in machine learning field. Some special structure BNCs have been proposed and demonstrate promise performance. However, recent researches show that structure learning in BNs may lead to a non-negligible posterior problem, i

in effect produces a sequence of random variables distributed approximately from the posterior distribution. These random variables can be used to estimate the posterior or features of it like the posterior expectation and variance. Unfortunately, the Markov chain simulation method requires non-negligible

when the available N is small. An important class of large dimensional problems with multimodal OL is tracking spatially varying physical quantities such as temperature or pressure in a large area using a network of sensors which may be nonlinear and/or may have non-negligible failure probabilities

that the transdiphragmatic pressure increases in parallel with the growing intrathoracic pressure generated during obstructive apnea episodes. This has a non-negligible effect on the phrenoesophageal ligament, which is connected to the lower esophageal sphincter. Repetition of the pressure changes results in insufflciency

: A non-cavitated sample of 100 extracted posterior teeth was randomly selected and assessed for caries on enamel and dentin level with aid of CarioScan PRO (ACIS) and DIAGNOdent pen (LF pen) by three exam-iners. After the measurements, the extension of the lesion was histologically determined as gold
