Abstract: In recent years there has been a flurry of works on learning probabilistic belief networks. Current state of the art methods have been shown to be successful for two learning scenarios: learning both network structure and parameters from complete data, and learning parameters for a fixed network from incomplete data---that is, in the presence of missing values or hidden variables. However, no method has yet been demonstrated to effectively learn network structure from incomplete data. In this... (Update)

...vectors are not important. Second, our search strategy is different form the one of [5] We use the structural EM algorithm proposed in [6] to find the optimal DBN. In the next section, we define the class of structures (i.e. dependencies) we are interested in. In section 3, we...
