The parameterisation of the metatstic cancer network given in Fig 2.7 (and repeated in Fig 3.7) is incorrect. Using Pearl's 1998 text (p 196-197) as the source, the CPTs for nodes S and B have been reversed (no doubt due to the node renaming from A,B,C,D,E to M,S,B,C,H!). Also, in our text we have P(M)=0.9, whereas in Pearl's version, the prior for metastatic cancer was 0.2.
The Netica BN metastatic.dne on this web site has been corrected to match Pearl's parameterisation.
The BNs Cancer_neapolitan.dne (Netica) and cancer_neapolitan.net (Hugin) contain Neapolitan's version.
The parameterisation of this clustered BN in Figure 3.8 is incorrect.
A number of entries in Table 4.2 are incorrect.
Table 9.4 entries for the poor qualitative outcomes should be -20, not -5 as printed. This corrected utitity function was used to compute the expected utilities in Table 9.5.
Figure 5.5 has the arcs from BPP_Win to OPP_Final and BPP_Final. The direction of both arcs are incorrect -- BPP_Win is a deterministic function of the final hands of both players.
