Question

A Hybrid Bayesian network contains ___________

(a) Both discrete and continuous variables

(b) Only Discrete variables

(c) Only Discontinuous variable

(d) Both Discrete and Discontinuous variable

I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

I'd like to ask this question from Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning in chapter Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning of Artificial Intelligence

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Both discrete and continuous variables

Best explanation: To specify a Hybrid network, we have to specify two new kinds of distributions: the conditional distribution for continuous variables given discrete or continuous parents, and the conditional distribution for a discrete variable given continuous parents.
