摘要：
We present an algorithm for learning parameters of Bayesian networks from incomplete data. By using importance sampling we are able to assign a score to imputation proposals depending on the quality of such a proposal in combination with the observed data. This in effect makes it possible to approximate the posterior parameter distribution given incomplete data by using a mixture distribution with a tractable number of components. The technique allows for different imputation methods, in particular we propose an imputation method that combines Gibbs sampling and a data augmentation derivative. We evaluate our algorithm, and we compare the results to those obtained with WinBUGS and the EM algorithm. (C) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
