It is shown that, given a probabilistic network whose moralization has bounded treewidth and a property P of the network and the values of the variables that can be formulated in counting monadic second order logic, one can determine in linear time the probability that P holds. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z TC 2 %Z WG 2.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01556214/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01556214/file/978-3-642-33475-7_4_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01556214 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01556214 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-TC2 %~ IFIP-TCS %~ IFIP-WG2-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-7604
