A tree augmented classifier based on Extreme Imprecise Dirichlet Model
In this paper we present TANC, i.e., a tree-augmented naive credal classifier based on imprecise probabilities; it models prior near-ignorance via the Extreme Imprecise Dirichlet ...

Restricting the IDM for Classification
Abstract. The naive credal classifier (NCC) extends naive Bayes classifier (NBC) to imprecise probabilities to robustly deal with the specification of the prior; NCC models a state...

Robust inference of trees
Abstract. This paper is concerned with the reliable inference of optimal treeapproximations to the dependency structure of an unknown distribution generating data. The traditional ...

Second-order uncertainty calculations by using the imprecise Dirichlet model
Natural extension is a powerful tool for combining the expert judgments in the framework of imprecise probability theory. However, it assumes that every judgment is “true” and...

Implicative Analysis for Multivariate Binary Data using an Imprecise Dirichlet Model
Bayesian implicative analysis was proposed for summarizing the association in a 22 contingency table in terms possibly asymmetrical such as, e.g., presence of feature a implies, i...

Game-Theoretic Learning Using the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
We discuss two approaches for choosing a strategy in a two-player game. We suppose that the game is played a large number of rounds, which allows the players to use observations o...

Learning from multinomial data: a nonparametric predictive alternative to the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
A new model for learning from multinomial data has recently been developed, giving predictive inferences in the form of lower and upper probabilities for a future observation. Apa...

Improving Bayesian Network parameter learning using constraints
This paper describes a new approach to unify constraints on parameters with training data to perform parameter estimation in Bayesian networks of known structure. The method is ge...
