The Simplest Conditional<br />
Independence in BN<br />
• A node is independent of its ancestors given its<br />
parents, where the ancestor / parent relationship is<br />
with respect to some fixed topological ordering of<br />
the nodes<br />
• The joint probability is the product of the<br />
conditional probability<br />
• For previous examples: P(C, S, R, W) = P(C) *<br />
P(S|C) * P(R|C,S) * P(W|C, S, R) = P(C) * P(S|C)<br />
* P(R|C) * P(W|S,R).
