Examples from The Book of Why Illustrated with BayesiaLab

• We are starting this new section to share and explain Bayesian networks inspired by Judea Pearl's The Book of Why.

• For each example, we provide an excerpt from Pearl's book to introduce the problem domain and then offer a solution in the form of a Bayesian network.

• We share all networks in BayesiaLab's XBL format and publish them as interactive WebSimulators so you can experiment with the models without installing BayesiaLab.
