However, it is striking that there are very few robust comparative evaluations of the outcomes of environmental regulations or of levels of industrial environmental performance in the EU and...

Probabilistic Graphical Models in Complex Industrial Applications

In the last decade graphical models have become one of the most popular tools to structure uncertain knowledge about high-dimensional domains in order to make reasoning in such domains feasible. Their most prominent representatives are Bayesian networks and Markov networks, but also relational and possibilistic networks turned out to be useful in practical applications. For all types of network...
