Six Simple Schemata for Approximating Bayesian Belief Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two families comprising six simple schemata, which reproduce with high accuracy the outputs of Bayesian belief networks as used in actual digital forensic investigations, are described, analyzed, and evaluated numerically. Their application as a forensic triage measure to help in deciding whether a full digital forensic investigation is warranted is critically discussed. The concept of a digital forensic triage pipeline is also introduced.

Project Portfolio Risk Response Selection Using Bayesian Belief Networks
Risk identification, impact assessment, and response planning constitute three building blocks of project risk management. Correspondingly, three types of interactions could be envisioned between risks, between impacts of several risks on a portfolio component, and between several responses. While the interdependency of risks is a well-recognized issue, the other two types of interactions remai...
متن کاملApproximating Posterior Distributions in Belief Networks Using Mixtures
Exact inference in densely connected Bayesian networks is computationally intractable, and so there is considerable interest in developing effective approximation schemes. One approach which has been adopted is to bound the log likelihood using a mean-field approximating distribution. While this leads to a tractable algorithm, the mean field distribution is assumed to be factorial and hence uni...
متن کاملApproximating Bayesian Belief Networks by Arc Removal
Bayesian belief networks or causal probabilistic networks may reach a certain size and complexity where the computations involved in exact probabilistic inference on the network tend to become rather time consuming. Methods for approximating a network by a simpler one allow the computational complexity of probabilistic inference on the network to be reduced at least to some extend. We propose a...
متن کاملA 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 ...
