Dear UAIers,

        I would appreciate if anyone could give some pointers
        on how to generate Bayesian networks randomly. That is,
        how to construct directed acyclic graphs and their
        associated parameters in a way that uniformly samples
        the space of the DAGs? I have not found a simple explanation
        on how to do it, even though many papers refer to networks
        that have been generated randomly. I wonder if there is
        software available for this.

        Maybe the problem is simple, but it does seem to require
        some sophistication. Even to generate the conditional
        probabilities, it does not seem that simply generating
        tuples and normalizing them will uniformly sample the
        space of probability distributions.

        Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

                        Fabio Cozman
