I'm pleased to announce that the book I've been working on for so long
is now available for pre-order. Here is the link to the Springer web
page:
http://www.springer.com/statistics/social+sciences+%26+law/book/978-1-4939-2124-9.
Although this book is primarily focused at an educational measurement
audience, I think it is interesting to the UAI community in two ways.
1) It focuses on the model building and evaluation process rather than
the mechanics of Bayesian networks. In particular, it covers both
managing expert knowledge and learning from data. The educational
examples used in the book should be reasonably accessible even to
non-education specialists.
2) It focuses on models with latent variables, bringing in several
important techniques from psychometrics for those supporting those kinds
of variables are not widely known or used in the UAI community.
Check it it out.
