Dynamic Bayesian network

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Dynamic Bayesian Network composed by 3 variables.
Bayesian Network developed on 3 time steps.
Simplified Dynamic Bayesian Network. All the variables do not need to be duplicated in the graphical model, but they are dynamic, too.

A dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is a Bayesian network (BN) which relates variables to each other over adjacent time steps.

History

A dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is often called a "two-timeslice" BN (2TBN) because it says that at any point in time T, the value of a variable can be calculated from the internal regressors and the immediate prior value (time T-1). DBNs were developed by

ARMA and simple dependency models such as hidden Markov models into a general probabilistic representation and inference mechanism for arbitrary nonlinear and non-normal time-dependent domains.[3][4]

Today, DBNs are common in

DBNs are conceptually related to probabilistic Boolean networks[6] and can, similarly, be used to model dynamical systems at steady-state.
