This graphical model is a valuable tool for representing the causal relationships in a given set of variables. Because the number of possible BBNs for a given data set is exponential with respect to the number of variables, learning a BBN from data is a difficult and resource-consuming task. A greedy algorithm that automatically constructs a BBN from a data set of cases obtained from a household survey was implemented. The resulting BBN shows the dependencies among key variables that are associated with the trip-generation process.
