چکیده

The paper describes a new method based on the information-gap theory which enables an evaluation of worst case error predictions of the kNN method in the presence of a specified level of uncertainty in the data. There are presented concepts of a robustness and an opportunity of the kNN model and calculations of these concepts were performed for a simple 1-D data set and next, for a more complicated 6-D data set. In both cases the method worked correctly and enabled evaluation of the robustness and the opportunity for a given lowest acceptable quality rc or a windfall quality rw. The method enabled also choosing of the most robust kNN model for a given level of an uncertainty α. Streszczenie. W artykule opisane jest zastosowanie teorii luk informacyjnych do określania największego błędu modelu kNN w przypadku wystąpienia w danych niepewności o określonym poziomie. Przedstawione zostały pojęcia odporności i sposobności modelu kNN oraz pokazane zostały przykłady ich wyznaczania dla prostych danych jednowejściowych i bardziej złożonych, sześciowejściowych. W obu przypadkach metoda działała prawidłowo, a dodatkowo umożliwiała wyznaczanie najbardziej odpornego modelu kNN przy określonym poziomie niepewności α. (Zastosowanie teorii luk informacyjnych do wyznaczania odporności metody najbliższych sąsiadów na niepewność danych).

Pseudo-Likelihood Inference Underestimates Model Uncertainty: Evidence from Bayesian Nearest Neighbours

When using the K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, one often ignores the uncertainty in the choice of K. To account for such uncertainty, Bayesian KNN (BKNN) has been proposed and studied (Holmes and Adams 2002 Cucala et al. 2009). We present some evidence to show that the pseudo-likelihood approach for BKNN, even after being corrected by Cucala et al. (2009), still significantly underest...

A practical approach to open-pit mine planning under price uncertainty using information gap decision theory

In the context of open-pit mine planning, uncertainties including commodity price would significantly affect the technical and financial aspects of mining projects. A mine planning that takes place regardless of the uncertainty in price just develops an optimized plan at the starting time of the mining operation. Given the price change over the life of mine, which is quite certain, optimality o...

Joint Bayesian Stochastic Inversion of Well Logs and Seismic Data for Volumetric Uncertainty Analysis

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

A multi agent method for cell formation with uncertain situation, based on information theory

This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...

Uncertainty Measurement for Ultrasonic Sensor Fusion Using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty Measure 1

In this paper, target differentiation based on pattern of data which are obtained by a set of two ultrasonic sensors is considered. A neural network based target classifier is applied to these data to categorize the data of each sensor. Then the results are fused together by Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) to make final decision. The Generalized Aggregated Unce...
