Comparing risks of alternative medical diagnosis using Bayesian arguments
This paper explains the role of Bayes Theorem and Bayesian networks arising in a medical negligence case brought by a patient who suffered a stroke as a result of an invasive diagnostic test. The claim of negligence was based on the premise that an alternative (non-invasive) test should have been used because it carried a lower risk. The case raises a number of general and widely applicable con...
متن کاملComparing Alternative Methods for Inference in Multiply Sectioned Bayesian Networks
Multiply sectioned Bayesian networks (MSBNs) provide one framework for agents to estimate the state of a domain. Existing methods for multi-agent inference in MSBNs are based on linked junction forests (LJFs). The methods are extensions of message passing in junction trees for inference in singleagent Bayesian networks (BNs). We consider extending other inference methods in single-agent BNs to ...

متن کاملModeling Supplier Risks Using Bayesian Networks
Purpose – To counteract the effects of global competition, many organizations have extended their enterprises by forming supply chain networks. However, as organizations increase their dependence on these networks, they become more vulnerable to their suppliers’ risk profiles. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for modeling and evaluating risk profiles in supply chains via Ba...
متن کاملA General Structure for Legal Arguments Using Bayesian Networks
A Bayesian network (BN) is a graphical model of uncertainty that is especially well-suited to legal arguments. It enables us to visualise and model dependencies between different hypotheses and pieces of evidence and to calculate the revised probability beliefs about all uncertain factors when any piece of new evidence is presented. Although BNs have been widely discussed and recently used in t...
