A Bayesian decision theoretic approach to directional multiple hypotheses problems
A multiple hypothesis problem with directional alternatives is considered in a decision theoretic framework. Skewness in the alternatives is considered, and it is shown that this skewness permits the Bayes rules to possess certain advantages when one direction of the alternatives is more important or more probable than the other direction. Bayes rules subject to constrains on certain directiona...
متن کاملPredicting Twist Condition by Bayesian Classification and Decision Tree Techniques
Railway infrastructures are among the most important national assets of countries. Most of the annual budget of infrastructure managers are spent on repairing, improving and maintaining railways. The best repair method should consider all economic and technical aspects of the problem. In recent years, data analysis of maintenance records has contributed significantly for minimizing the costs. B...
متن کاملTransfer Learning in Sequential Decision Problems: A Hierarchical Bayesian Approach
Transfer learning is one way to close the gap between the apparent speed of human learning and the relatively slow pace of learning by machines. Transfer is doubly beneficial in reinforcement learning where the agent not only needs to generalize from sparse experience, but also needs to efficiently explore. In this paper, we show that the hierarchical Bayesian framework can be readily adapted t...
متن کاملA PAC-Bayesian approach to adaptive classification
This is meant to be a self-contained presentation of adaptive classification seen from the PAC-Bayesian point of view. Although most of the results are original, some review materials about the VC dimension and support vector machines are also included. This study falls in the field of statistical learning theory, where complex data have to be analyzed from a limited amount of informations, dra...
متن کاملA Unied Bayesian Decision Theory
This paper provides new foundations for Bayesian Decision Theory based on a representation theorem for preferences de ned on a set of prospects containing both factual and conditional possibilities. This use of a rich set of prospects not only provides a framework within which the main theoretical claims of Savage, Ramsey, Je¤rey and others can be stated and compared, but also allows for the po...
