Probabilistic-Possibilistic Belief Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The interpretation of membership functions of fuzzy sets as statistical likelihood functions leads to a probabilistic-possibilistic hierarchical description of uncertain knowledge. The fundamental advantage of the resulting fuzzy probabilities with respect to imprecise probabilities is the ability of using all the information provided by the data. This paper studies the possibility of using fuzzy probabilities to describe the uncertain knowledge about the values of the nodes of belief networks.

Reasoning with Uncertain Inputs in Possibilistic Networks
Graphical belief models are compact and powerful tools for representing and reasoning under uncertainty. Possibilistic networks are graphical belief models based on possibility theory. In this paper, we address reasoning under uncertain inputs in both quantitative and qualitative possibilistic networks. More precisely, we first provide possibilistic counterparts of Pearl’s methods of virtual ev...
متن کاملProbabilistic and Possibilistic Networks and How To Learn Them from Data
In this paper we explain in a tutorial manner the technique of reasoning in probabilistic and possibilistic network structures, which is based on the idea to decompose a multi-dimensional probability or possibility distribution and to draw inferences using only the parts of the decomposition. Since constructing probabilistic and possibilistic networks by hand can be tedious and time-consuming, ...
متن کاملA Naive Bayes Style Possibilistic Classifier
Naive Bayes classifiers can be seen as special probabilistic networks with a star-like structure. They can easily be induced from a dataset of sample cases. However, as most probabilistic approaches, they run into problems, if imprecise (i.e, set-valued) information in the data to learn from has to be taken into account. An approach to handle uncertain as well imprecise information, which recen...
متن کاملCompiling Possibilistic Networks: Alternative Approaches to Possibilistic Inference
Qualitative possibilistic networks, also known as min-based possibilistic networks, are important tools for handling uncertain information in the possibility theory framework. Despite their importance, only the junction tree adaptation has been proposed for exact reasoning with such networks. This paper explores alternative algorithms using compilation techniques. We first propose possibilistic...
