Inference with Causal Independence in the CPSC Network

  • Nevin Lianwen Zhang
چکیده

This paper reports experiments with the causal independence inference algorithm pro­ posed by Zhang and Poole (1994b) on the CPSC network created by Pradhan et a/ (1994). It is found that the algorithm is able to answer 420 of the 422 possible zero­ observation queries, 94 of 100 randomly gen­ erated five-observation queries, 87 of 100 randomly generated ten-observation queries, and 69 of 100 randomly generated twenty­ observation queries.

Causal independence for probability assessment and inference using Bayesian networks

A Bayesian network is a probabilistic representation for uncertain relationships, which has proven to be useful for modeling real-world problems. When there are many potential causes of a given e ect, however, both probability assessment and inference using a Bayesian network can be di cult. In this paper, we describe causal independence, a collection of conditional independence assertions and ...

Exploiting Causal Independence in Bayesian Network Inference

A new method is proposed for exploiting causal independencies in exact Bayesian network inference. A Bayesian network can be viewed as representing a factorization of a joint probability into the multiplication of a set of conditional probabilities. We present a notion of causal independence that enables one to further factorize the conditional probabilities into a combination of even smaller f...

Inference in Bayesian Networks :

Three kinds of independence are of interest in the context of Bayesian networks, namely conditional independence, independence of causal in uence, and context-speci c independence. It is well-known that conditional independence enables one to factorize a joint probability into a list of conditional probabilities and thereby renders inference feasible. It has recently been shown that independenc...

Causal Independence for Knowledge Acquisition and Inference

I introduce a temporal belief-network rep­ resentation of causal independence that a knowledge engineer can use to elicit proba­ bilistic models. Like the current, atempo­ ral belief-network representation of causal in­ dependence, the new representation makes knowledge acquisition tractable. Unlike the atemproal representation, however, the tem­ poral representation can simplify inference, and...

Enhanced Fast Causal Network Inference over Event Streams

This paper addresses causal inference and modeling over event streams where data have high throughput, are unbounded, and may arrive out of order. The availability of large amount of data with these characteristics presents several new challenges related to causal modeling, such as the need for fast causal inference operations while ensuring consistent and valid results. There is no existing wo...
