Abstract
AbstractThis note comments on the article of David Atienza, Pedro Larrañaga and Concha Bielza in which they first review recent contributions to Bayesian networks and then introduce a new hybrid version. It combines parametric and nonparametric density estimates for continuous variables by simultaneously allowing for discrete parents. We discuss straightforward extensions of the linear Gaussian parts and potential smoothing over the outcomes of discrete parents and conclude with some minor comments.
