A Method for Using Belief Networks as Influence Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
Gregory F. Cooper Medical Computer Science Group Medical School Office Building Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 This paper demonstrates a method for using belief-network algorithms to solve influence diagram problems. In particular, both exact and approximation belief-network algorithms may be applied to solve influence-diagram problems. More generally, knowing the relationship between belief-network and influence-diagram problems may be useful in the design and development of more efficient influence diagram algorithms.

A Surface Water Evaporation Estimation Model Using Bayesian Belief Networks with an Application to the Persian Gulf
Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...

متن کاملEvaluating influence diagrams with decision circuits
Although a number of related algorithms have been developed to evaluate influence diagrams, exploiting the conditional independence in the diagram, the exact solution has remained intractable for many important problems. In this paper we introduce decision circuits as a means to exploit the local structure usually found in decision problems and to improve the performance of influence diagram an...

This paper describes IDEAL and some lessons learned during its dev...
متن کاملBayes-Ball: The Rational Pastime (for Determining Irrelevance and Requisite Information in Belief Networks and Influence Diagrams)
One of the benefits of belief networks and influence diagrams is that so much knowl edge is captured in the graphical structure. In particular, statements of conditional irrel evance (or independence) can be verified in time linear in the size of the graph. To re solve a particular inference query or decision problem, only some of the possible states and probability distributions must be spe...
