The Importance of Statistical Evidence for Focussed Bayesian Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Focussed Bayesian fusion reduces high computational costs caused by Bayesian fusion by restricting the range of the Properties of Interest which specify the structure of the desired information on its most task relevant part. Within this publication, it is concisely explained how Bayesian theory and the theory of statistical evidence can be combined to derive meaningful focussed Bayesian models and to rate the validity of a focussed Bayesian analysis quantitatively. Earlier results with regard to this topic will be further developed and exemplified.

Decision theoretic approaches for focussed Bayesian fusion
Focussed Bayesian fusion is a local Bayesian fusion technique by that high costs caused by Bayesian fusion can get circumvented. This publication addresses globally optimal decision making on the basis of a focussed Bayesian model. Therefore, common decision criteria under linear partial information and in particular principles of lazy decision making are applied. We also present an interval sc...
متن کاملPseudo-Likelihood Inference Underestimates Model Uncertainty: Evidence from Bayesian Nearest Neighbours
When using the K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, one often ignores the uncertainty in the choice of K. To account for such uncertainty, Bayesian KNN (BKNN) has been proposed and studied (Holmes and Adams 2002 Cucala et al. 2009). We present some evidence to show that the pseudo-likelihood approach for BKNN, even after being corrected by Cucala et al. (2009), still significantly underest...
متن کاملBayesian Data Fusion: a Reliable Approach for Descriptive Modeling of Ore Deposits
Recognition of ore deposit genesis is still a controversial challenge for economic geologists. Here, this task was addressed by the virtue of Bayesian data fusion (BDF) implementing available proofs: semi-schematic examples with two (Cu and Pb + Zn) and three (Cu, Pb + Zn and Ag) evidences. The data, in current paper are just concentrations of indicated elements, were collected from Angouran’s ...

Introduction: Considering the importance of fusion of thought in the persistence of symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, This study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of the TFI in Iran. Methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study, a fusion measure was used. First, the author was allowed to use the tool and then translated into Persian. The statistical population of...
متن کاملA 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 ...
