Example of a Markov blanket within a BN. The minimal Markov blanket of the node X6 (shown stippled) consists of the set of parents (X2 and X3), children (X8 and X9), and parents of the children (X5 and X7) of that node, as indicated by the shaded nodes. Nodes X1, X4, X10 and X11 are not in the minimal Markov blanket of X6.
