Credal Compositional Models and Credal Networks
This paper studies the composition operator for credal sets introduced at the last ISIPTA conference in more detail. Our main attention is devoted to the relationship between a special type of compositional model, so-called perfect sequences of credal sets, and those of (precise) probability distributions, with the goal of finding the relationship between credal compositional models and credal ...
متن کاملCredal Sets Approximation by Lower Probabilities: Application to Credal Networks
Credal sets are closed convex sets of probability mass functions. The lower probabilities specified by a credal set for each element of the power set can be used as constraints defining a second credal set. This simple procedure produces an outer approximation, with a bounded number of extreme points, for general credal sets. The approximation is optimal in the sense that no other lower probabi...
متن کاملUpper entropy of credal sets. Applications to credal classification
We present an application of the measure of entropy for credal sets: as a branching criterion for constructing classification trees based on imprecise probabilities which are determined with the imprecise Dirichlet model. We also justify the use of upper entropy as a global uncertainty measure for credal sets and present a deduction of this measure. We have carried out several experiments in wh...
متن کاملLazy Credal Classifier and how to compare credal classifiers
This poster carries out two main contributions: (a) a lazy (or local) version of naive credal classifier (NCC) that we call lazy naive credal classifier (LNCC); (b) two metrics to compare credal classifiers. NCC [1] has extended naive Bayes (NB) to imprecise probabilities, by modeling prior ignorance via the Imprecise Dirichlet Model; the classification is eventually issued by returning the non...
متن کاملImprecision in Engineering Design Imprecision in Engineering Design
A technique to perform design calculations on imprecise representations of parameters has been developed and is presented. The level of imprecision in the description of design elements is typically high in the preliminary phase of engineering design. This imprecision is represented using the fuzzy calculus. Calculations can be performed using this method, to produce (imprecise) performance par...
