Obtain or write your own Markov blanket discovery algorithm, after reading some of the references to the literature above. Generate some artificial data from a Bayesian net (e.g., using Netica) and see how well its Markov blankets are discovered from the data.

Evaluation Problem For this problem you should get and install one or more of the causal discovery programs: TETRAD IV, WinMine (free from Microsoft) or CaMML (from us). For instructions see Appendix B.
