In this paper we propose a new approach to probabilistic inference on belief networks, global conditioning, which is a simple generalization of Pearl's (1986b) method of loop...

: Jeffrey’s rule of conditioning has been proposed in order to revise a probability measure by another probability function. We generalize it within the framework of the models b...
A logic is de ned that allows to express information about statistical probabilities and about degrees of belief in speci c propositions. By interpreting the twotypes of probabili...
Most traditional models of uncertainty have focused on the associational relationship among variables as captured by conditional dependence. In order to successfully manage intell...
Heckerman (1993) defined causal independence in terms of a set of temporal conditional independence statements. These statements formalized certain types of causal interaction whe...
In this paper some initialwork towards a new approach to qualitative reasoning under uncertainty is presented. This method is not only applicable to qualitative probabilistic reas...
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data. This method relies on the well known minimal description length (MDL) principle. The MDL ...
