Uncertain inference using interval probability theory
The use of interval probability theory (IPT) for uncertain inference is demonstrated. The general inference rule adopted is the theorem of total probability. This enables information on the relevance of the elements of the power set of evidence to be combined with the measures of the support for and dependence between each item of evidence. The approach recognises the importance of the structur...
متن کاملExperimentally comparing uncertain inference systems to probability
This paper examines the biases and performance of several uncertain inference systems: Mycin, a variant of Mycin. and a simplified version of probability using conditional independence assumptions. We present axiomatic arguments for using Minimum Cross Entropy inference as the best way to do uncertain inference. For Mycin and its variant we found special situations where its performance was ver...
متن کاملA Framework for Comparing Uncertain Inference Systems to Probability
Several different uncertain inference systems (UISs) have been developed for representing uncertainty in rule-based expert systems. Some of these, such as Mycin's Certainty Factors, Prospector, and Bayes' Networks were designed as approximations to probability, and others, such as Fuzzy Set Theory and DempsterShafer Belief Functions were not. How different are these UISs in practice, and does i...
متن کاملUncertain Reasoning Using Maximum Entropy Inference
The use of maximum entropy infer ence in reasoning with uncertain informa tion is commonly justified by an information-theoretic argument. This paper discusses a possible objection to this information-theoretic justification and shows how it can be met. I then compare max imum entropy inference with certain other currently popular methods for uncertain rea soning. In making such a compariso...
متن کاملProbability Elicitation in Influence Diagram Modeling by Using Interval Probability
In decision modeling with influence diagrams, the most challenging task is probability elicitation from domain experts. It is usually very difficult for experts to directly assign precise probabilities to chance nodes. In this paper, we propose an approach to elicit probability effectively by using the concept of interval probability (IP). During the elicitation process, a group of experts assi...
