Suppose we now eliminate B. What factor(s) are removed, and what
factor is created?
Variable B appears in three factors: P(A|B), P(B), and
f5(B). We thus create a factor f6(A), defined by:
|
A | Value |
|
true | 0.88 * 0.7 * 0.476216 + 0.38 * 0.3 * 0.587992 = 0.360380144 |
|
false | 0.12 * 0.7 * 0.476216 + 0.62 * 0.3 * 0.587992 = 0.149368656
