Suppose
we want to know the probability of each
|
|
|
variable's
values given all other variable values.
|
|
|
• |
Recall
P(x1, …, xn) =
|
|
|
P(x1|ParentValues(x1)) * … *
|
|
|
P(xn|ParentValues(xn))
|
|
|
• |
In
computing P(x1, …, xi, …, xn), which of the terms in
|
|
the
above product involve xi?
|
|
|
• |
How
would you describe the variables which appear in
|
|
|
those
terms? (see example)
|
|
|
• |
These
neighboring variables are called Xi's Markov
|
|
|
blanket.
