What is a Bayesian Network?
Bayesian networks -- also known as "belief networks" or "causal networks" -- are
graphical models for representing multivariate probability distributions.

By using a directed graphical model, Bayesian Network describes random variables

and conditional dependencies.

 They consist of two parts. Structure and Parameters:-

--The structure is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) 
--The parameters consist of conditional probability distributions

 DAG
Directed Acyclic Graph
• A DAG network is a neural network for
deep learning with layers arranged as a
directed acyclic graph.

• A DAG network can have a more

complex architecture in which layers
have inputs from multiple layers and Example
outputs to multiple layers.

• DAG workflow are set of tasks written

with dependencies between the tasks
rather than linearly chaining

 Conditional Probability
Distribution
Conditional probability distribution is the likelihood of one condition being true if another condition is known to
be true. This forms the foundation of Bayes’ theorem and Bayesian networks. 

Conditional probability also differs from joint probability, which is the

probability that both conditions are true without knowing that any of them are
true.

 Advantage
• Represent all the relationships between the variables.

• Easy to recognize nodes.

• Bayesian networks can handle situations all variables.

• Help to model noisy systems.

Disadvantage
• The design of Bayesian Networks is hard to make compared to other networks.

• The Bayesian network fails to define cyclic relationships.

• It performs poorly on high dimensional data.

• Tough to interpret.
