چکیده
This section investigates graphical modeling as a powerful framework for drawing inferences under imprecision and uncertainty. We survey the semantical background and relevant properties of relational, probabilistic, and possibilistic networks and consider evidence propagation in such networks as well as methods for learning them from data. Whereas the probabilistic Bayesian networks and Markov networks are well-known for a couple of years, we focus on possibilistic networks as a promising approach to the efficient treatment of information-compressed uncertain and imprecise knowledge.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Thesis TYPE INFERENCE WITH RECURSIVE TYPES AT DIFFERENT RANKS
We consider a polymorphic type system (System F) with recursive types for the lambda calculus with constants. We use Leivant’s notion of rank to delimit the boundaries for decidable and undecidable type inference in our system. More precisely, we show that type inference in our system is undecidable at rank k ≥ 3. Similar results are known to hold for System F without recursive types. Our undec...

i=1 Ai \⋃ k 6=i Ak , {∑10 j=1 1Aj = 1} . (b) Setting A1 := B, A2 = A \ B and A3 = A, we see that Aj, j = 1, 2, 3, form a partition of Ω. The σ-algebra generated by the partition consists of all possible unions of its elements: σ({A,B}) = σ({A1, A3, A3}) = {∅, A1, A2, A3, A1 ∪ A2, A1 ∪ A3, A2 ∪ A3,Ω}. (c) No, F is not a σ-algebra, as the second axiom (A.2) fails: (B1 ×B2) doesn’t have the sp...
متن کاملHeterogeneity and Causality: Unit Heterogeneity and Design Sensitivity in Observational Studies
Before R. A. Fisher introduced randomization, the literature on empirical methods emphasized reducing heterogeneity of experimental units as key to inference about the e¤ects of treatments. To what extent is heterogeneity relevant to causal inference when ethical or practical constraints make random assignment infeasible? 1. Notation and Review 1.1. Review: Randomization Inference in a Paired E...
متن کاملPrior Predictive Elicitation for Subjective Reliabi lity Analysis
Reliability applications are notorious for their la ck of data, resulting in poor parameter estimates a nd inaccurate decisions. Subjective methods enable exp ert knowledge to enhance empirical observations. However, the problem of specifying prior distributi ons for model parameters remains unresolved. We investigate methods of prior predictive elicitation to determine hyperparameters of subje...
