Experiences with Modelling Issues in Building Probabilistic Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building a probabilistic network for a real-life application is a difficult and time-consuming task. Methodologies for building such a network, however, are still lacking. Also, literature on network-specific modelling issues is quite scarce. As we have developed a large probabilistic network for a complex medical domain, we have encountered and resolved numerous non-trivial modelling issues. Since many of these issues pertain not only to our application but are likely to emerge for other applications as well, we feel that sharing them will contribute to engineering probabilistic networks in general.

Rule-based joint fuzzy and probabilistic networks
One of the important challenges in Graphical models is the problem of dealing with the uncertainties in the problem. Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...
متن کاملProbabilistic Integrated Planning of Primary and Secondary Distribution Networks based on a Hybrid Heuristic and GA Approach
The integrated planning of distribution system reveals a complex and non-linear problem being integrated with integer and discontinues variables. Due to these technical and modeling complexities, many researchers tend to optimize the primary and secondary distribution networks individually which depreciates the accuracy of the results. Accordingly, the integrated planning of these networks is p...

متن کاملLPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring
Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
متن کاملProbabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems
Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...
