Abstract Aiming at the twostage modeling process, a Bayesian network structure refinement method based on conditional mutual information measure is put forward. The detailed procedure of this method is presented, the correctness is proved and the computing complexity is analyzed. A wellknown Bayesian networks-Alarm is applied to show its validity.
