Description: Recurrent Bayesian Networks (RBN) are a type of Bayesian network that allows for cycles, enabling the modeling of temporal dependencies in data. Unlike traditional Bayesian networks, which are acyclic and focus on representing static relationships between variables, RBNs can capture complex temporal dynamics, making them powerful tools for time series analysis and stochastic processes. These networks are based on probability theory and use directed graphs to represent the dependency relationships between variables, where nodes represent random variables and arcs indicate the influence of one variable on another. The ability to incorporate cycles allows RBNs to model situations where the future state of a system depends on its past state, thus facilitating prediction and data analysis in contexts where time plays a crucial role. This feature makes them particularly relevant in fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistics, where understanding temporal interactions is essential for informed decision-making.
