A Pragmatic Bayesian Approach to Predictive Uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an approach to regression based on building a probabilistic model with the aid of visualization. The “stereopsis” data set in the predictive uncertainty challenge is used as a case study, for which we constructed a mixture of neural network experts model. We describe both the ideal Bayesian approach and computational shortcuts required to obtain timely results.

Bayesian prediction of rotational torque to operate horizontal drilling
Horizontal directional drilling is usually used in drilling engineering. In a variety of conditions, it is necessary to predict the torque required for performing the drilling operation. Nevertheless, there is presently not a convenient method available to accomplish this task. In order to overcome this difficulty, the current work aims at predicting the required rotational torque (RT) to opera...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Framework for Filter based Feature Selection using Information Gain and Symmetric Uncertainty (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Feature selection is a pre-processing technique used for eliminating the irrelevant and redundant features which results in enhancing the performance of the classifiers. When a dataset contains more irrelevant and redundant features, it fails to increase the accuracy and also reduces the performance of the classifiers. To avoid them, this paper presents a new hybrid feature selection method usi...
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 کاملDynamic Bayesian Information Measures
This paper introduces measures of information for Bayesian analysis when the support of data distribution is truncated progressively. The focus is on the lifetime distributions where the support is truncated at the current age t>=0. Notions of uncertainty and information are presented and operationalized by Shannon entropy, Kullback-Leibler information, and mutual information. Dynamic updatings...
متن کاملUsing Fuzzy LR Numbers in Bayesian Text Classifier for Classifying Persian Text Documents
Text Classification is an important research field in information retrieval and text mining. The main task in text classification is to assign text documents in predefined categories based on documents’ contents and labeled-training samples. Since word detection is a difficult and time consuming task in Persian language, Bayesian text classifier is an appropriate approach to deal with different...
