In the previous chapter we addressed the problem of parameter learning in a
Bayesian network. In this chapter we discuss structure learning. Section 13.1

tions 13.2 and 13.3 discuss two different t echniques for learning that structure.
Then Sect ion 13.4 provides a large-scale example of structure learning. Next,
