Abstract

Bayesian Networks (BNs) are used in various fields for modeling, prediction, and decision making. pgmpy is a python package that provides a collection of algorithms and tools to work with BNs and related models. It implements algorithms for structure learning, parameter estimation, approximate and exact inference, causal inference, and simulations. These implementations focus on modularity and easy extensibility to allow users to quickly modify/add to existing algorithms, or to implement new algorithms for different use cases. pgmpy is released under the MIT License; the source code is available at: https://github.com/pgmpy/pgmpy, and the documentation at: https://pgmpy.org.

    • I made the first version of this back in 2010, when Pearl's work on causal inference started impacting Epidemiology. A friend was an Epidemiologist and she told me about an MS-DOS program she was using to do something with graphs (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20010223/); she…
