Bayesys datasets

Description

Various datasets from the Bayesys repository.

Size: 6 groups of datasets with each up to 16 experimentally generated from the bayesian network with the number of observation 100,1000,…100000. Ground truth is given

Number of features: 6 - over 1000

Ground truth: Yes

Type of Graph: Directed graph

 

Six discrete BN case studies are used to generate data. The first three of them represent well-established examples from the BN structure learning literature, whereas the other three represent new cases and are based on recent BN real-world applications. Specifically,

  • Asia: A small toy network for diagnosing patients at a clinic;

  • Alarm: A medium-sized network based on an alarm message system for patient monitoring;

  • Pathfinder: A very large network that was designed to assist surgical pathologists with the diagnosis of lymph-node diseases;

  • Sports: A small BN that combines football team ratings with various team performance statistics to predict a series of match outcomes;

  • ForMed: A large BN that captures the risk of violent reoffending of mentally ill prisoners, along with multiple interventions for managing this risk;

  • Property: A medium BN that assesses investment decisions in the UK property market.
