A Generalization of Credal Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The likelihood approach to statistics can be interpreted as a theory of fuzzy probability. This paper presents a generalization of credal networks obtained by generalizing imprecise probabilities to fuzzy probabilities; that is, by additionally considering the relative plausibility of different values in the probability intervals.

Credal Sets Approximation by Lower Probabilities: Application to Credal Networks
Credal sets are closed convex sets of probability mass functions. The lower probabilities specified by a credal set for each element of the power set can be used as constraints defining a second credal set. This simple procedure produces an outer approximation, with a bounded number of extreme points, for general credal sets. The approximation is optimal in the sense that no other lower probabi...
متن کاملBuilding Knowledge-based Systems by Credal Networks: a Tutorial
Knowledge-based systems are computer programs achieving expert-level competence in solving problems for specific task areas. This chapter is a tutorial on the implementation of this kind of systems in the framework of credal networks. Credal networks are a generalization of Bayesian networks where credal sets, i.e., closed convex sets of probability measures, are used instead of precise probabi...
متن کاملCredal Networks for Operational Risk Measurement and Management
According to widely accepted guidelines for self-regulation, the capital requirements of a bank should relate to the level of risk with respect to three different categories. Among them, operational risk is the more difficult to assess, as it requires merging expert judgments and quantitative information about the functional structure of the bank. A number of approaches to the evaluation of ope...
متن کاملThe Generalization of the Conjunctive Rule for Aggregating Contradictory Sources of Information Based on Generalized Credal Sets
In the paper we consider the generalization of the conjunctive rule in the theory of imprecise probabilities. Let us remind that the conjunction rule, produced on credal sets, gives their intersection and it is not defined if this intersection is empty. In the last case the sources of information are called contradictory1. Meanwhile, in the Dempster-Shafer theory it is possible to use the conju...
متن کاملCredal Compositional Models and Credal Networks
This paper studies the composition operator for credal sets introduced at the last ISIPTA conference in more detail. Our main attention is devoted to the relationship between a special type of compositional model, so-called perfect sequences of credal sets, and those of (precise) probability distributions, with the goal of finding the relationship between credal compositional models and credal ...
