Superceded by his 2001 book. - S. Lauritzen. “Graphical Models”, Oxford. 1996.
The definitive mathematical exposition of the theory of graphical models. - S. Russell and P. Norvig. “Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach”. Prentice Hall. 1995.
Popular undergraduate textbook that includes a readable chapter on directed graphical models. - J. Whittaker. “Graphical Models in Applied Multivariate Statistics”, Wiley. 1990.
