•Denote our set of
variables as X1, X2, …, Xn.
•The joint probability
distribution P(X1,…,Xn) can be thought of
as a table with entries P(X1=x1,…,Xn=xn)
or simply P(x1, …, xn) where x1,…,xn
is a possible assignment to all variables.
•Using CPTs,
P(x1, …, xn) = P(x1|ParentValues(x1)) * … *
P(xn|ParentValues(xn))
