Conditional Degree of Belief
The normative force of Bayesian inference is based on the existence of a uniquely rational degree of belief in evidence E given a hypothesis H, that is, p(E|H). To motivate this claim, think of what a Bayesian inference in science typically looks like. There is a competing set of hypotheses that correspond to different values of an unknown parameter, such as the chance θ ∈ [0, 1] of a coin to c...
متن کاملBayesian Inference under Ambiguity: Conditional Prior Belief Functions
Bayesian inference under imprecise prior information is studied: the starting point is a precise strategy σ and a full B-conditional prior belief functionBelB , conveying ambiguity in probabilistic prior information. In finite spaces, we give a closed form expression for the lower envelope P of the class of full conditional probabilities dominating {BelB , σ} and, in particular, for the related...
متن کاملBayesian Error-Bars for Belief Net Inference
A Bayesian Belief Network (BN) is a model of a joint distribution over a finite set of variables, with a DAG structure to represent the immediate dependencies between the variables, and a set of parameters (aka CPTables) to represent the local conditional probabilities of a node, given each assignment to its parents. In many situations, the parameters are themselves treated as random variables ...
متن کاملApproximating Probabilistic Inference in Bayesian Belief Networks
A belief network comprises a graphical representation of dependencies between variables of a domain and a set of conditional probabilities associated with each dependency. Unless P=NP, an efficient, exact algorithm does not exist to compute probabilistic inference in belief networks. Stochastic simulation methods, which often improve run times, provide an alternative to exact inference algorith...
