چکیده
Iterative Proportional Fitting Procedure is commonly used in probability theory for construction of a joint probability distribution from a system of its marginals. A similar idea can be used in case of belief functions thanks to special operators of composition defined in this framework. In this paper, a formerly designed IPF procedure is further studied. We propose a modification of composition operator (for the purpose of the procedure), compare the behavior of the modified procedure with the previous one and prove its convergence.

Modifying Bayesian Networks by Probability Constraints
This paper deals with the following problem: modify a Bayesian network to satisfy a given set of probability constraints by only change its conditional probability tables, and the probability distribution of the resulting network should be as close as possible to that of the original network. We propose to solve this problem by extending IPFP (iterative proportional fitting procedure) to probab...
متن کاملSerum levels of interleukin-17 and adiponectin are associated with infrapatellar fat pad volume and signal intensity alteration in patients with knee osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND In the present study, we sought to generate hypotheses regarding the associations of serum levels of interleukin (IL)-17, adiponectin, and resistin with magnetic resonance imaging-measured infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) size and signal intensity alterations in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A total of 170 subjects with symptomatic knee OA (mean age 55.4 years, range ...
متن کاملInfluence of the Infrapatellar Fat Pad Resection during Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND To enhance surgical exposure, resection of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) is usually a routine procedure in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is conflicting evidence regarding whether IPFP resection during TKA impairs clinical outcome. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the influence of IPFP resection on primary TKA. METHODS Embase, PubMed, ...
متن کاملThe role of infrapatellar fat pad resection in total knee arthroplasty.
We read with interest the correspondence from Bai et al and the response from Pan et al regarding ‘A longitudinal study of the association between infrapatellar fat pad maximal area and changes in knee symptoms and structure in older adults’. Both correspondents raise valid points, but we would like to highlight further evidence concerning the effect of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) preserva...
متن کاملThe Importance of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Idiopathic Peripheral Facial Palsy
Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not there was a correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) value and the severity of idiopathic peripheral facial palsy (IPFP) and to determine whether or not NLR could be used as an early predictive parameter in the prognosis of IPFP patients. Material and Method. This retrospective study was conducted on 146 ...
متن کاملA large infrapatellar fat pad protects against knee pain and lateral tibial cartilage volume loss
INTRODUCTION The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) is commonly resected during knee joint arthroplasty, but the ramifications of doing so are unclear. This longitudinal study determined whether the size of the IPFP (maximum cross-sectional area (CSA)) was associated with knee cartilage loss and the development of knee pain in adults without knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A total of 297 adults w...
