Abstract:Mixtures of truncated basis functions have been recently proposed as a generalisation of mixtures of truncated exponentials and mixtures of polynomials for modelling univariate and conditional distributions in hybrid Bayesian networks. In this paper we analyse the problem of learning the parameters of marginal and conditional MoTBF densities when both prior knowledge and data are available. Incorporating prior knowledge provide a valuable tool for obtaining useful models, especially in domains of applications … Show more
