Abstract
Bayesian networks (BNs) are useful for coding conditional independence statements between a given set of measurement variables.
On the other hand, event trees (ETs) are convenient for representing asymmetric structure and how situations unfold. In this paper
we report the development of a new graphical framework for discrete
probability models called the Chain Event Graph (CEG). The class of
CEG models contains finite BNs as a special case. Unlike the BN, the
CEG is equally appropriate for representing conditional independencies in asymmetric systems and does not need dependent variables to
be specified in advance. As with the BN, it also provides a framework
for learning relevant conditional probabilities and propagation. Furthermore, being a function of an ET, the CEG is a more
exible way of
representing various causal hypotheses than the BN. This new framework is illustrated throughout by a biological regulatory network: the
tryptophan metabolic pathway in the bacterium E. coli.
