Add a new section above What is Bayes' Theorem with:

## What is a [Bayesian network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_network)

A Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model (a type of statistical model) that represents a set of variables and their conditional dependencies via a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Bayesian networks are ideal for taking an event that occurred and predicting the likelihood that anyone of several possible known causes was the contributing factor. For example, a Bayesian network could represent the probabilistic relationships between diseases and symptoms. Given symptoms, the network can be used to compute the probabilities of the presence of various diseases.

And fix What is Bayes' Theorem text size

Can I contribute to this as well?

nolleto commented 5 years ago

Hi @tanushree57, I believe is too late 😅 But I will create more simple issues in this repo tomorrow 🎉

tanushree57 commented 5 years ago

@nolleto I've added the mathematical equation in any case for those interested (maths nerds!)
