A Functional Model for Structure Learning and Parameter Estimation in Continuous Time Bayesian Network: An Application in Identifying Patterns of Multiple Chronic Conditions

Bayesian networks are powerful statistical models to study the probabilistic relationships among sets of random variables with significant applications in disease modeling and prediction. Here, we propose a continuous time Bayesian network with conditional dependencies represented as regularized Poi...
