Belief Functions and the Transferable Belief Model
Belief functions have been proposed for modeling someone’s degrees of belief. They provide alternatives to the models based on probability functions or on possibility functions. There are several interpretations of belief functions: the lower probabilities model, Dempster’s model, the hint model, the probability of modal propositions model, the transferable belief model. All these models are un...
متن کاملArtificial intelligence dialects of the Bayesian belief revision language
Rule-based expert systems must deal with uncertain data, subjective expert opinions, and inaccurate decision rules. Computer scientists and psychologists have proposed and implemented a number of belief and new insights into theu Bayesian interpretations are presented In particular, the authors focus on three alternative belief-update models the certainty factors calculus, Dempster-Shafer simpl...
متن کاملBayesian and Belief-Functions
This paper illustrates two formulas for assessing independence risk based on the Bayesian and belief-functions frameworks. These formulas can be used to assess the role of threats to auditor independence as well as the role of threat-mitigating safeguards. Also, these formulas provide a basis for evaluation of an audit firm’s independence risk and a framework to educate stakeholders about the t...
متن کاملBelief Maintenance in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) are a pow erful formalism for reasoning under uncer tainty but bear some severe limitations: they require a large amount of information be fore any reasoning process can start, they have limited contradiction handling capabil ities, and their ability to provide explana tions for their conclusion is still controversial. There exists a class of reasoning syste...
متن کاملHorn Clause Contraction Functions: Belief Set and Belief Base Approaches
Standard approachs to belief change assume that the underlying logic contains classical propositional logic. Recently there has been interest in investigating approaches to belief change, specifically contraction, in which the underlying logic is not as expressive as full propositional logic. In this paper we consider approaches to belief contraction in Horn knowledge bases. We develop two broa...
