چکیده
Abstract In this paper we compare causal models with reason in the construction of Bayesian networks for legal evidence. models, arrows network are drawn from causes to effects. a model, instead towards evidence, factum probandum probans . We explore differences between and observe several distinct advantages models. Reason better aligned philosophy inference, as they model reasons up-dating beliefs. suited measuring combined support prior probability guilt that reflects number possible perpetrators is accommodated more easily

15 صفحه اولIntegrating Semantic Annotations in Bayesian Causal Models
Probabilistic reasoning has been powered by the formalization of causality theory through Bayesian causal models[1]. Even when its semantic is flexible enough to model complex problems, it has to deal with the problem of interoperability between models. In the research community the necessity of contexts for these models has been pointed out. We need means to represent the context on which the ...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian models as formal models of causal reasoning
knowledge can come in various forms, and it may form complex hierarchies. The most abstract form of knowledge may be called causal principles, which probably include the assumption that causes precede their effects, that nothing happens without a cause, and that causes generate their effect unless prevented by an inhibitory factor (Audi 1995). A fundamental assumption might also be that a manip...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملBayesian Optimum Design Criterion for Multi Models Discrimination
The problem of obtaining the optimum design, which is able to discriminate between several rival models has been considered in this paper. We give an optimality-criterion, using a Bayesian approach. This is an extension of the Bayesian KL-optimality to more than two models. A modification is made to deal with nested models. The proposed Bayesian optimality criterion is a weighted average, where...
