An Experimental Comparison of Numerical and Qualitative Probabilistic Reasoning
Max Henrion, Gregory M. Provan, Brendan del Favero +1
Qualitative and infinitesimal probability schemes are consistent with the axioms of probability theory, but avoid the need for precise numerical probabilities. Using qualitative pr…
Backward Simulation in Bayesian Networks
Robert Fung, Brendan del Favero
Backward simulation is an approximate inference technique for Bayesian belief networks. It differs from existing simulation methods in that it starts simulation from the known evid…
Why Is Diagnosis Using Belief Networks Insensitive to Imprecision In Probabilities?
Max Henrion, Malcolm Pradhan, Brendan del Favero +3
Recent research has found that diagnostic performance with Bayesian belief networks is often surprisingly insensitive to imprecision in the numerical probabilities. For example, th…
