Continuous Decision Variables with Multiple Continuous Parents
This paper introduces an influence diagram (ID) model that permits continuous decision variables with multiple continuous parents. The marginalization operation for a continuous decision variable first develops a piecewise linear decision rule as a continuous function of the next continuous parent in the deletion sequence. Least squares regression is used to convert this rule to a piecewise lin...
متن کاملSolving Factored MDPs with Continuous and Discrete Variables
Although many real-world stochastic planning problems are more naturally formulated by hybrid models with both discrete and continuous variables, current state-of-the-art methods cannot adequately address these problems. We present the first framework that can exploit problem structure for modeling and solving hybrid problems efficiently. We formulate these problems as hybrid Markov decision pr...
متن کاملStructuring Causal Tree Models with Continuous Variables
This paper considers the problem of invoking auxiliary, unobservable variables to facilitate the structuring of causal tree models for a given set of continuous variables. Paralleling the treatment of bi-valued variables in [Pearl 1986], we show that if a collection of coupled variables are governed by a joint normal distribution and a tree-structured representation exists, then both the topolo...
متن کاملContinuous-time Sequential Decision Feedback: Revisited
Sequential feedback communications has wide ranging applications such as low power communications, error-resilience protocols etc. Two kinds of feedback communication systems can be indentified: information feedback and decision feedback. Continuous-time sequential decision feedback communication is the focus of this paper. The case when the detector test statistic is a Poisson random walk proc...
متن کاملAutomatically formulating and solving prediction problems
In this paper, we designed a formal language, called Trane, for describing prediction problems over relational datasets, as well as implemented a system that allows data scientists to specify problems in that language. We show that this language is able to describe prediction problems across many different domains, including those on KAGGLEa data science competition website. We express 29 diffe...
