Multinomial Agent’s Trust Modeling Using Entropy of the Dirichlet Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays one of the most important challenges for integrated systems such as social networks is the evaluation of trust for agents which are interacting with each other in the environment. It plays an important role that the trust has been evaluated from the agent’s experiences. In this paper, we propose a new mathematical approach based on the entropy of Dirichlet distribution, to model the agent’s trust to another agent, based on the past observation from him. The use of Dirichlet distribution for trust model, allows us to evaluate the trust in multinomial cases. Also our approach considers the uncertainty and conflict of agent’s behavior for underlying trust model.

Finding a Minimally Informative Dirichlet Prior Using Least Squares
Abstract In a Bayesian framework, the Dirichlet distribution is the conjugate distribution to the multinomial likelihood function, and so the analyst is required to develop a Dirichlet prior that incorporates available information. However, as it is a multiparameter distribution, choosing the Dirichlet parameters is less straightforward than choosing a prior distribution for a single parameter,...

متن کاملA Dirichlet-Multinomial Bayes Classifier for Disease Diagnosis with Microbial Compositions
Dysbiosis of microbial communities is associated with various human diseases, raising the possibility of using microbial compositions as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. We have developed a Bayes classifier by modeling microbial compositions with Dirichlet-multinomial distributions, which are widely used to model multicategorical count data with extra variation. The parameters of the Dirichlet...
متن کاملA Trust Model Based on the Multinomial Subjective Logic for P2P Network
In order to deal with the problems in P2P systems such as unreliability of the Service, security risk and attacks caused by malicious peers, a novel trust model MSL-TM based on the Multinomial Subjective Logic is proposed. The model uses multinomial ratings and Dirichlet distribution to compute the expectation of the subjective opinion and accordingly draws the peer’s reputation value and risk ...

This paper presents a new finite mixture model based on the Multinomial Dirichlet distribution (MDD). For the estimation of the parameters of this mixture we propose an unsupervised algorithm based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Fisher scoring methods. This mixture is used to produce a new texture model. Experimental results concern texture images summarizing and are reported on the Vistex ...
