Abstract
The standard Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is derived under
some regularity conditions which are not always satisfied by the graphical
models with hidden variables. In this paper we derive the BIC score for
Bayesian networks in the case when the data is binary and the underlying
graph is a rooted tree and all the inner nodes represent hidden variables. This
provides a direct generalization of a similar formula given by Rusakov and
Geiger in [10]. Geometric results obtained in this paper are complementary to
the results in the previous paper [18] extending our understanding of this class
of models. The main tool used in this paper is the connection between asymptotic
approximation of Laplace integrals and the real log-canonical threshold.
