Conditional Independence and Markov Properties in Possibility Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Conditional independence and Markov prop erties are powerful tools allowing expression of multidimensional probability distributions by means of low-dimensional ones. As mul tidimensional possibilistic models have been studied for several years, the demand for analogous tools in possibility theory seems to be quite natural. This paper is intended to be a promotion of de Cooman's measure theoretic approach to possibility theory, as this approach allows us to find analogies to many important results obtained in prob abilistic framework. First we recall semi graphoid properties of conditional possibilis tic independence, parameterized by a contin uous t-norm, and find sufficient conditions for a class of Archimedean t-norms to have the graphoid property. Then we introduce Markov properties and factorization of possi bility distributions (again parameterized by a continuous t-norm) and find the relation ships between them. These results are ac companied by a number of counterexamples, which show that the assumptions of specific theorems are substantial.

Financial Risk Modeling with Markova Chain
Investors use different approaches to select optimal portfolio. so, Optimal investment choices according to return can be interpreted in different models. The traditional approach to allocate portfolio selection called a mean - variance explains. Another approach is Markov chain. Markov chain is a random process without memory. This means that the conditional probability distribution of the nex...

متن کاملConditional independence in valuation-based systems
This paper introduces the concept of conditional independence in valuation-based systems (VBS). VBS is an axiomatic framework capable of representing many different uncertainty calculi. We define conditional independence in terms of factorization of the joint valuation. The definition of conditional independence in VBS generalizes the corresponding definition in probability theory. Besides prob...
متن کاملInformation-theoretic characterizations of conditional mutual independence and Markov random fields
We take the point of view that a Markov random field is a collection of so-called full conditional mutual independencies. Using the theory of -Measure, we have obtained a number of fundamental characterizations related to conditional mutual independence and Markov random fields. We show that many aspects of conditional mutual independence and Markov random fields have very simple set-theoretic ...
متن کاملMarkov Properties for Linear Causal Models with Correlated Errors Markov Properties for Linear Causal Models with Correlated Errors
A linear causal model with correlated errors, represented by a DAG with bi-directed edges, can be tested by the set of conditional independence relations implied by the model. A global Markov property specifies, by the d-separation criterion, the set of all conditional independence relations holding in any model associated with a graph. A local Markov property specifies a much smaller set of co...
