Uncertain Logical Gates in Possibilistic Networks. An Application to Human Geography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Possibilistic networks offer a qualitative approach for modeling epistemic uncertainty. Their practical implementation requires the specification of conditional possibility tables, as in the case of Bayesian networks for probabilities. This paper presents the possibilistic counterparts of the noisy probabilistic connectives (and, or, max, min, . . . ). Their interest is illustrated on an example taken from a human geography modeling problem. The difference of behaviors in some cases of some possibilistic connectives, with respect to their probabilistic analogs, is discussed in details.

Uncertain logical gates in possibilistic networks: Theory and application to human geography
Possibilistic networks offer a qualitative approach for modeling epistemic uncertainty. Their practical implementation requires the specification of conditional possibility tables, as in the case of Bayesian networks for probabilities. The elicitation of probability tables by experts is made much easier by means of noisy logical gates that enable multidimensional tables to be constructed from t...
متن کاملProduct-based Causal Networks and Quantitative Possibilistic Bases
In possibility theory, there are two kinds of possibilistic causal networks depending if possibilistic conditioning is based on the minimum or on the product operator. Similarly there are also two kinds of possibilistic logic: standard (min-based) possibilistic logic and quantitative (product-based) possibilistic logic. Recently, several equivalent transformations between standard possibilistic...
متن کاملResilient Supplier Selection in a Supply Chain by a New Interval-Valued Fuzzy Group Decision Model Based on Possibilistic Statistical Concepts
Supplier selection is one the main concern in the context of supply chain networks by considering their global and competitive features. Resilient supplier selection as generally new idea has not been addressed properly in the literature under uncertain conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a new multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model is introduced with interval-valued fuzzy sets (I...
متن کاملOn the Use of Guaranteed Possibility Measures in Possibilistic Networks
Possibilistic networks are useful tools for reasoning under uncertainty. Uncertain pieces of information can be described by different measures: possibility measures, necessity measures and more recently, guaranteed possibility measures, denoted by Δ. This paper first proposes the use of guaranteed possibility measures to define a so-called Δ-based possibilistic network. This graphical represen...
متن کاملAgregating Quantitative Possibilistic Networks
The problem of merging multiple-source uncertain information is a crucial issue in many applications. This paper proposes an analysis of possibilistic merging operators where uncertain information is encoded by means of product-based (or quantitative) possibilistic networks. We first show that the product-based merging of possibilistic networks having the same DAG structures can be easily achie...
