Structure discovery in Bayesian networks has attracted considerable interest in the recent decades. Attention has mostly been paid to finding a structure that best fits the data under certain criterion. The optimization approach can lead to noisy and partly arbitrary results due to the uncertainty caused by a small amount of data. The so-called full Bayesian approach addresses this shortcoming by learning the posterior distribution of structures. In practice, the posterior distribution is summarized by constructing a representative sample of structures, or by computing marginal posterior probabilities of individual arcs or other substructures. The state-of-the-art sampling algorithms draw orderings of variables along a Markov chain. We have proposed several improvements to these algorithms. In this talk I discuss these improvements.
