Compositional Models of Belief Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
After it has been successfully done in probability and possibility theories, the paper is the first attempt to introduce the operator of composition also for belief functions. We prove that the proposed definition preserves all the necessary properties of the operator enabling us to define compositional models as an efficient tool for multidimensional models representation.

Compositional Models in Valuation-Based Systems
Compositional models were initially described for discrete probability theory, and later extended for possibility theory and for belief functions in Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory of evidence. Valuation-based system (VBS) is an unifying theoretical framework generalizing some of the well known and frequently used uncertainty calculi. This generalization enables us to not only highlight the most i...
متن کاملCompositional Belief Function Models
Analogously to Graphical Markov models, also Compositional models serve as an efficient tool for multidimensional models representation. The main idea of the latter models resembles a jig saw puzzle: Multidimensional models are assembled (composed) from a large number of small pieces, from a large number of low-dimensional models. Originally they were designed to represent multidimensional prob...
متن کاملCausal Compositional Models in Valuation-Based Systems
This paper shows that Pearl’s causal networks can be described using compositional models in the valuation-based systems (VBS) framework. There are several advantages of using the VBS framework. First, VBS is a generalization of several uncertainty theories (e.g., probability theory, a version of possibility theory where combination is the product t-norm, Spohn’s epistemic belief theory, and De...

متن کاملConditioning in Decomposable Compositional Models in Valuation-Based Systems
Valuation-based systems (VBS) can be considered as a generic uncertainty framework that has many uncertainty calculi, such as probability theory, a version of possibility theory where combination is the product t-norm, Spohn’s epistemic belief theory, and DempsterShafer belief function theory, as special cases. In this paper, we focus our attention on conditioning, which is defined using the co...
