[Probcogsci] Help: graphical models & Bayesian inference reference -- Michael Jordan book?

[Roger Levy]

Hi Angela,

Yes, we used Cowell's chapter from Jordan's 1998 book, available here:

  http://courses.media.mit.edu/2004fall/mas622j/readings/cowell.pdf

I actually think chapter 9 of Bishop's new textbook is really pretty  
good & in depth, though it has the disadvantage of referring heavily  
to other sections of the book.

The coverage in Russell & Norvig is also good, but it only covers  
Bayes nets.

Roger
