Inference reasoning on fishers' knowledge using Bayesian causal maps
Scientists and managers are not the only holders of knowledge regarding environmental issues: other stakeholders such as farmers or fishers do have empirical and relevant knowledge. Thus, new approaches for knowledge representation in the case of multiple knowledge sources, but still enabling reasoning, are needed. Cognitive maps and Bayesian networks constitute some useful formalisms to addres...
متن کاملUsing cognitive maps to investigate fishers' ecosystem objectives and knowledge
This paper presents a survey of French Eastern English Channel fishers' observations of the past and current state of the marine ecosystem and their wishes for the future, as a first step towards formulating management objectives. Twenty-nine semi-directive interviews were carried out in June 2006 among fishers and shellfish farmers. Cognitive maps proved useful to formalise their experience an...
متن کاملCognitive Maps and Bayesian Networks for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Cognitive maps are powerful graphical models for knowledge representation. They offer an easy means to express individual’s judgments, thinking or beliefs about a given problem. However, drawing inferences in cognitive maps, especially when the problem is complex, may not be an easy task. The main reason of this limitation in cognitive maps is that they do not model uncertainty with the variabl...
متن کاملBayesian Matching for Causal Inference
In this paper we provide Bayesian matching methods for finding the causal effect of a binary intake variable x ∈ {0, 1} on an outcome of interest y. One technique we introduce is a Bayesian variant of the classic Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983, 1984) propensity score matching method. We show how it is possible to find the posterior distribution of the Bayesian matched sample average treatment effect...
متن کاملBayesian inference with optimal maps
We present a new approach to Bayesian inference that entirely avoids Markov chain simulation, by constructing a map that pushes forward the prior measure to the posterior measure. Existence and uniqueness of a suitable measure-preserving map is established by formulating the problem in the context of optimal transport theory. We discuss various means of explicitly parameterizing the map and com...
