چکیده

We investigate properties of Bayesian networks (BNs) in the context of state estimation. We introduce a coarse perspective on the inference processes and use this perspective to identify conditions under which state estimation with BNs can be very robust, even if the quality of the model is very low. By making plausible assumptions we can formulate asymptotic properties of the estimation performance with respect to the network topology. In addition, we introduce techniques that support detection of potentially inaccurate inference results.

Inference Meta Models: A New Perspective On Belief Propagation With Bayesian Net- works

We investigate properties of Bayesian networks (BNs) in the context of robust state estimation. We focus on problems where state estimation can be viewed as a classification of the possible states, which in turn is based on the fusion of heterogeneous and noisy information. We introduce a coarse perspective of the inference processes and show that classification with BNs can be very robust, eve...

A Surface Water Evaporation Estimation Model Using Bayesian Belief Networks with an Application to the Persian Gulf

Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation  method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...

Latent Parameter Estimation in Fusion Networks Using Separable Likelihoods

Multi-sensor state space models underpin fusion applications in networks of sensors. Estimation of latent parameters in these models has the potential to provide highly desirable capabilities such as network self-calibration. Conventional solutions to the problem pose difficulties in scaling with the number of sensors due to the joint multi-sensor filtering involved when evaluating the paramete...

Robust state estimation in power systems using pre-filtering measurement data

State estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. The first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. This paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...
