Conditional Independence in Evidence Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Conditioning, Conditional Independence and Irrelevance in Evidence Theory
The goal of the paper is to reveal the relationships between recently introduced concept of conditional independence in evidence theory and those (dependent on the choice of conditioning rule) of conditional irrelevance.
متن کاملNo Double Counting Semantics for Conditional Independence
The main goal of this paper is to describe a new semantic for conditional independence in terms of no double counting of uncertain evidence. For ease of exposition, we use probability calculus to state all results. But the results generalize easily to any calculus that fits in the framework of valuation-based systems. Thus, the results described in this paper apply also, for example, to Dempste...

متن کاملConditional 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...
