Abstract
In thispaperstudy,we develop a Bayesian Network model selection principle thataddressaddressestheincommensurability of network features obtained from incongruous datasets and overcomes performanceirregularities of the Minimum Description Length model selection principle.This is achieved (i) byapproaching model evaluation as a classification problem, (ii) by estimating the effect that samplingerror has on the satisfiability of conditional independence criterion, as reflected by Mutual Information,and (iii) by utilizing this error estimate to penalize uncertainty in the Minimum Uncertainty (MU) modelselection principle. We validate our findings numerically and demonstrate the performance advantagesof the MU criterion. Finally, we illustrate the advantages of the new model evaluation framework on atRNA structural biology example.

Comment:
The reasoning presented in the original manuscript was generalized and summarized into a model selection principle. The narrative has been substantially reworked and expanded. Consistency and coherence of the derivation of the bound on the statistical uncertainty were improved. Figures and tables were updated to reflect the changes. A structural biology application example was added --- dissection of the intra-tRNA-molecule residue (position) relationships.
