An Introduction to Bayesian Networks

I may have included this in a previous post, but it is worth repeating.   A good basic introduction to Bayesian Network methods from Conrady Science, which integrates some writings by Judea Pearl.  Essential reading if you are interested in intelligence rich techniques that can be readily integrated with real-time decision making.  In our own experiences we used simple rule-based layers that led to specific Bayesian networks to solve complex problems.  I can also see this method integrated with numerical optimization techniques and then plugged into process flow implementations.
