This paper explores the representation of probabilistic graphical models with an emphasis on local structure and independence of causal influence within the context of various respiratory illnesses, including pneumonia, flu, tuberculosis, and bronchitis. We delve into the behavioral aspects of conditional probability distributions (CPD) and sigmoid functions as they relate to these conditions. Our analysis is supported by extensive empirical data, estimating the number of parameters required for effective modeling, thus enhancing our understanding of the probabilistic relationships involved in these diseases.
