Evidential Reasoning
We consider the problem of inference on the basis of observations. Suppose Alice has two coins, F (with probability 1/2 of landing heads) and B (with probability 3/4 of landing heads). She chooses a coin, tosses it, and it lands heads. How likely was the coin to be F? How likely was it to be B? Suppose she tosses the coin 100 times, and it lands heads every time. How likely was it to be F? How ...
متن کاملRelevance for clinical practice
OBJECTIVE To review evidence from literature on type 2 diabetes pertinent to physical activity and diet and lifestyle modification, and to determine the relevance of this evidence to clinical practice. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE Direct (level I) evidence supports interventions for physical activity and diet modification for primary prevention and management of type 2 diabetes. Few studies examine the ...
متن کاملEvidential Reasoning in Image Understanding
Mingchuan Zhang and Su-shing Chen Department of Computer Science University of North Carolina Charlotte, NC 28223 In this paper, we present some results of evidential reasoning m understanding multispectral images of remote sensing systems. The Dempster-Shafer approach of combination of evidences is pursued to yield contextual classification results, which are compared with previous results of ...
متن کاملSubjective Evidential Reasoning
This paper describes a framework for combining and assessing subjective evidence from different sources. The approach is based on the DempsterShafer belief theory, but instead of using Dempster’s rule we introduce a new rule called the consensus operator that is based on statistical inference. We show how this framework can be applied to subjective evidential reasoning.
متن کاملProblem Structure and Evidential Reasoning
In our previous series of studies to investigate the role of evidential reasoning in the RUBRIC system for full-text document retrieval (Tong et al., 1985; Tong and Shapiro, 1985; Tong and Appelbaum, 1987), we identified the important role that problem structure plays in the overall performance of the system. In this paper, we focus on these structural elements (which we now call"semantic struc...
