Conditional Independence in Possibility Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Possibilistic conditional independence is in vestigated : we propose a definition of this notion similar to the one used in probability theory. The links between independence and no-interactivity are investigated, and proper ties of these relations are given. The influ ence of the conjunction used to define a con ditional measure of possibility is also high lighted : we examine three types of conjunc tions : Lukasiewicz like T-norms, product like T-norms and the minimum operator.

Conditional independence in valuation-based systems
This paper introduces the concept of conditional independence in valuation-based systems (VBS). VBS is an axiomatic framework capable of representing many different uncertainty calculi. We define conditional independence in terms of factorization of the joint valuation. The definition of conditional independence in VBS generalizes the corresponding definition in probability theory. Besides prob...

متن کاملConditional Independence in Evidence Theory
We overview the existing conditional independence concepts from the viewpoint of their relation to possibility theory. We will show that a suitable notion — from this perspective — seems to be strong independence in the wider framework of credal sets.

The notion of independence is of great importance in any formalism for managing uncertainty, for both theoretical and practical reasons. In this paper we study the concept of independence in the framework of possibility theory. Our approach to defining conditional independence relationships is based on comparing conditional possibility measures. Different comparison criteria are presented, base...
