Abstract

Bayesian networks (BNs) have been widely used for learning model structures of a domain in the area of data mining and knowledge discovery. This paper incorporates ensemble learning into BN structure learning algorithms and presents a novel ensemble BN structure learning approach. Based on the Markov condition and the faithfulness condition of BN structure learning, our ensemble approach proposes a novel sample decomposition technique and a components integration technique. The experimental results reveal that our ensemble BN structure learning approach can achieve an improved result compared with individual BN structure learning approach in terms of accuracy.
