On the Use of Bayesian Networks to Analyze Survey Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper uses Bayesian modeling techniques to analyze a data set extracted from the British General Household survey. The models used are Bayesian networks, which provide a compact and easy to interpret knowledge representation formalism. An issue considered is the need for automated Bayesian modeling.

Bayesian Approaches to Learning from Data: Using NHTS Data for the Analysis of Land Use and Transportation
105 WORDS) This paper introduces the use of Bayesian Belief Networks for the analysis of survey data to investigate the relationship between land use and transportation. Bayesian statistics are used to reason under uncertainty and provide the basis for a methodological approach that does not require stringent a priori assumptions about the statistical model used to analyze the data. This study ...
متن کاملThe modeling of body's immune system using Bayesian Networks
In this paper, the urinary infection, that is a common symptom of the decline of the immune system, is discussed based on the well-known algorithms in machine learning, such as Bayesian networks in both Markov and tree structures. A large scale sampling has been executed to evaluate the performance of Bayesian network algorithm. A number of 4052 samples wereobtained from the database of the Tak...
متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...

متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
