Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Bayesian networks are graphical models representing stochastic dependencies among random variables and are applied to a variety of research fields such as data mining. This article proposes a stepwise method learning the structure of Bayesian network based on data and prior knowledge behind the data. Applying our method contributes to the suppression of the search space for the structure learning due to the use of prior knowledge. Besides, a suitable network structure can be acquired by employing prior knowledge which is insufficient to be applied to existing structure learning methods. Computer simulations employing both of artificial and real data are carried out to discuss the validity of our method.
