Joint Distribution For Conditionally Dependent Variables
If a subset of the variables is conditionally dependent given another subset of these variables, then the joint distribution is equal to . Therefore, it can be efficiently represented by the lower-dimensional probability distributions and . Such conditional independence relations can be represented with a Bayesian network.

—Olympia Brown (1835–1900)
“Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.”
—Paul Valéry (1871–1945)
