From the book reviews: "The monograph concentrates on intelligent systems for decision support based on probabilistic models, including Bayesian networks and influence diagrams. ... This monograph provides a review of recent state affairs of probabilistic networks that can be useful for professionals, practitioners, and researchers from diverse fields of statistics and related disciplines. I think it can be used as a textbook in its own right for an upper level undergraduate course, especially for a reading course." (Technometrics, Vol. 55 (2), May, 2013)
