Credal networks under epistemic irrelevance using sets of desirable gambles

B4 We present a new approach to credal networks, which are graphical models that generalise Bayesian nets to deal with imprecise probabilities. Instead of applying the commonly used notion of strong independence, we replace it by the weaker notion of epistemic irrelevance ( II ). We show how assessments of epistemic irrelevance allow us to construct a global model out of given local uncertainty...

Reintroducing Credal Networks under Epistemic Irrelevance

A credal network under epistemic irrelevance is a generalised version of a Bayesian network that loosens its two main building blocks. On the one hand, the local probabilities do not have to be specified exactly. On the other hand, the assumptions of independence do not have to hold exactly. Conceptually, these credal networks are elegant and useful. However, in practice, they have long remaine...

Irrelevant and independent natural extension for sets of desirable gambles

The results in this paper add useful tools to the theory of sets of desirable gambles, a growing toolbox for reasoning with partial probability assessments. We investigate how to combine a number of marginal coherent sets of desirable gambles into a joint set using the properties of epistemic irrelevance and independence. We provide formulas for the smallest such joint, called their independent...
