Table 2 Top edge suggestions by models for ‘Gallstones’. The number of shown edges corresponds to the number of edges in the GHKG. For logistic regression, naive Bayes and noisy OR the edges are ranked by their relative importance score. For the GHKG, the edges are sorted according to two broad buckets symptom frequency that are provided in the graph [‘frequent’ and ‘always’]. The internal ordering of the edges within a given bucket is random. The stars associated with each edge represent the expected frequency for which “disease A causes symptom B” as rated by physicians. [‘***’ = ‘always happens’, ‘**’ = ‘sometimes happens’, ‘*’ = ‘rarely happens’, ‘’ = ‘never happens’].
