Learning LWF Chain Graphs: A Markov Blanket Discovery Approach

This paper provides a graphical characterization of Markov blankets in chaingraphs (CGs) under the Lauritzen-Wermuth-Frydenberg (LWF) interpretation. The characterization is different from the well-known one for Bayesian networks and generalizes it. We provide a novel scalable and sound algorithmf…
