Modeling belief systems with scale-free networks

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 ...

An Overview of Distributed Belief Networks in Engineering Systems

This paper provides an overview of distributed belief networks and how they can model engineering systems. In extending the usual single-processor computational model to multiple processors, several interesting problems arise, which must be solved for the successful implementation of a distributed belief network. In keeping with the distributed computational model, no single processor has infor...

Graphical Explanation in Belief Networks

Belief networks provide an important bridge between statistical modeling and expert systems. In this paper we present methods for visualizing probabilistic “evidence flows” in belief networks, thereby enabling belief networks to explain their behavior. Building on earlier research on explanation in expert systems, we present a hierarchy of explanations, ranging from simple colorings to detailed...
