Classical Equitable Set-Off

Interpreting Extended Set Theory in Classical Set Theory

We exhibit an interpretation of the Extended Set Theory proposed by Dave Childs in classical Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice and an axiom asserting the existence of arbitrarily large inaccessible cardinals. In particular, if the existence of arbitrarily large inaccessible cardinals is consistent with ZFC, then Childs’s Extended Set Theory is also consistent.

Epidemic Outbreaks in Networks with Equitable or Almost-Equitable Partitions

We study the diffusion of epidemics on networks that are partitioned into local communities. The gross structure of hierarchical networks of this kind can be described by a quotient graph. The rationale of this approach is that individuals infect those belonging to the same community with higher probability than individuals in other communities. In community models the nodal infection probabili...

Equitability Revisited: Why the ‘‘Equitable Threat Score’’ Is Not Equitable

In the forecasting of binary events, verification measures that are ‘‘equitable’’ were defined by Gandin and Murphy to satisfy two requirements: 1) they award all random forecasting systems, including those that always issue the same forecast, the same expected score (typically zero), and 2) they are expressible as the linear weighted sum of the elements of the contingency table, where the weig...

Probabilistic Plan Recognition Using Off-the-Shelf Classical Planners

Plan recognition is the problem of inferring the goals and plans of an agent after observing its behavior. Recently, it has been shown that this problem can be solved efficiently, without the need of a plan library, using slightly modified planning algorithms. In this work, we extend this approach to the more general problem of probabilistic plan recognition where a probability distribution ove...
