  1. The complete dataset can be found at Delve, a machine learning repository and testing environment located at the University of Toronto, Department of Computer Science. The URL is http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~delve.

  2. The algorithm was coded using S-Plus. The programs are available from the authors.

  3. Recent research has established that the model is not limited to acyclic graphs. Direct or indirect cyclic causality may be included in BBNs.
