Baysian Networks Success Stories

wessel

Dear All,

Could anyone share some Baysian Networks Success Stories?
I'm trying to figure out for what types of problems Bayesian Networks are frequently used.
Furthermore I'm trying to figure out the strong points and weaknesses of Bayesian Networks contrasted with other learners.

For example, is there such a thing as a prototypical problem, where Bayesian Networks analysis produces nice results?
Can Bayesian Networks deal with high dimensional data or data that is not easily discretized without losing a lot of information?

Best regards,

Wessel
