Hi all, I'm looking for references, or even some vocabulary, addressing or describing the problem of classification with multiple, non-disjoint and possibly related class variables.
For example, in a medical diagnosis BN classifier with several possible disease nodes: the disease nodes are not mutually exclusive, so the classification problem is to decide which joint configuration of class variable states is most likely, rather than which state of a single class variable is most likely. I'd be grateful for any pointers to this problem. Cheers, Denver.
