Using a New Tool to Visualize Environmental Data for Bayesian Network Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the software Omnigram Explorer, a visualization tool developed for interactive exploration of relations between variables in a complex system. Its objective is to help users gain an initial knowledge of their data and the relationships between variables. As an example, we apply it to the water reservoir data for Andalusia, Spain. Two Bayesian networks are learned using causal discovery, both with and without the information gleaned from this exploration process, and compared in terms of the Logarithmic loss and causal structure. Even though they show the same predictive accuracy, the initial exploration with Omnigram Explorer supported the use of prior information to achieve a more informative causal structure.

Willow encroachment into the naturally mixed landscape of vegetation types in the Upper St. Johns River Basin in Florida, USA, impacts upon biodiversity, aesthetic and recreational values. To control the extent of willows and their rate of expansion into other extant wetlands, spatial context is critical to decision making. Modelling the spread of willows requires spatially explicit data on occ...
متن کاملRisk Analysis of Operating Room Using the Fuzzy Bayesian Network Model
To enhance Patient’s safety, we need effective methods for risk management. This work aims to propose an integrated approach to risk management for a hospital system. To improve patient’s safety, we should develop flexible methods where different aspects of risk and type of information are taken into consideration. This paper proposes a fuzzy Bayesian network to model and analyze risk in the op...
