Using Latex to construct a graphical model

Graphical modeling was introduced to facilitate the interpretation of Bayesian models by means of a graphical representation of the model. Dependencies between and hierarchical structures of the parameters and observations are easily interpreted by inspection of the graphical model. If you would like more information, there are some other sources available (Gilks, Thomas & Spiegelhalter, 1994; Lee & Wagenmakers, 2009; Spiegelhalter, 1998).

Tom Lodewyckx wrote a manual on how to make graphical models in LaTeX (using code developed by Henrik Bengtsson and Michael Lee). Click here for a zip file that has the manual and the example code.
