Abstract

In this paper a succint overview of the Bayesian network paradigm is presented, in an introductory manner. The reader is not supposed to have knowledge about it, although some notions of probability must be taken into account. Bayesian networks are used as inference tools in probabilistic expert systems, being its utilization extended to many research and application fields. Some examples in the medical world are presented, as well as the way they can be constructed and used. We do not emphasize in the calculi to be done; as there are many commercial and free software packages, they can be used without deep knowledge about the formulae to be applied.
