Probabilistic structural equations

We describe in this presentation how BayesiaLab can be used to use bayesian networks as a pragmatic alternative to Structural Equation Modeling, PLS and Path Analysis.

Here are the main steps of the workflow:

  • Unsupervised learning to discover the direct probabilistic relations between the Manifest variables
  • Variable clustering based on non linear measures to discover the Factors
  • Multiple clustering to create a hidden variable for each Factor
  • Unsupervised learning with Manifest and Factor variables

Here are other applications of our Probabilistic Structural Equations models :
