Abstract: In this talk I will describe directed acyclic graphs and the
d-separation rules. I will describe how these can be used to inform
statistical modelling. I will also discuss the limitations of direct
acyclic graphs; what they don't show well and what they don't tell us. I
will draw comparison with some model selection algorithms. In summary,
directed acyclic graphs are a useful addition to a statistician's toolkit.
