Abstract
Probabilistic relational models (PRMs) extend Bayesian networks beyond propositional expressiveness by allowing the representation of multiple interacting
classes. For a specific instance of sets of concrete objects per class, a ground Bayesian network is composed by replicating parts of the PRM. The interactions between the objects that are thereby induced, are not always obvious from the PRM. We demonstrate in this paper that the replicative structure of the ground
network in fact constrains the space of possible probability distributions and thereby the possible patterns of intercausal interaction
classes. For a specific instance of sets of concrete objects per class, a ground Bayesian network is composed by replicating parts of the PRM.
