Dear Bugs-users,

	I'm looking with a dataset to test an
	algorithm for Bayesian networks. I have found	
	lots of datasets at repositories (Statlib,
	Statlog, UCI repository, etc), but nothing
	that exactly matches what I'm looking for.

	I'd like to have a multivariate model with
	lots of *categorical* variables (say 10, 15, 20);
	a dataset with real data; and a Bayesian
	network structure that was constructed to
	model the relationships between variables. So, I'd
	like to start from known structure (knowledge
	of what is conditionally independent of what),
	and estimate the parameters of the model.

	In the examples for Bugs, I found the Asia example,
	which almost satisfies the requirements. But I'd
	like to have real data to work with in this particular
	case, as I've already used some of the artificial
	data that has been used in examples in the literature.

	Could someone help me to find a dataset that I 
	can use?

		Thanks,
