Qualitative Robustness in Bayesian Inference
We develop a framework for quantifying the sensitivity of the distribution of posterior distributions with respect to perturbations of the prior and data generating distributions in the limit when the number of data points grows towards infinity. In this generalization of Hampel [47] and Cuevas’ [18] notion of qualitative robustness to Bayesian inference, posterior distributions are analyzed as...
متن کاملProduction Throughput Modeling under Five Uncertain Variables Using Bayesian Inference
Throughput is an important measure of performance of production system. Analyzing and modeling of production throughput is complex in today’s dynamic production systems due to uncertainties of production system. The main reasons are that uncertainties are materialized when the production line faces changes in setup time, machinery break down, lead time of manufacturing, and scraps. Besides, dem...
متن کاملRegression for ordinal variables without underlying continuous variables
Several techniques exist nowadays for continuous (i.e. numerical) data analysis and modeling. However, although part of the information gathered by companies, statistical offices and other institutions is numerical, a large part of it is represented using categorical variables in ordinal or nominal scales. Techniques for model building on categorical data are required to take advantage of such ...
متن کاملDiscovering Structure in Continuous Variables Using Bayesian Networks
We study Bayesian networks for continuous variables using nonlinear conditional density estimators. We demonstrate that useful structures can be extracted from a data set in a self-organized way and we present sampling techniques for belief update based on Markov blanket conditional density models.
متن کاملSymbolic Probabilistic Inference with Continuous Variables
Research on Symbolic Probabilistic Inference (SPI) [2, 3) has provided an algorithm for re solving general queries in Bayesian networks. SPI applies the concept of dependency directed backward search to probabilistic in ference, and is incremental with respect to both queries and observations. Unlike tra ditional Bayesian network inferencing algo rithms, SPI algorithm is goal directed, per...
