Evidential Networks for Fault Tree Analysis with Imprecise Knowledge
2012
International journal of turbo & jet-engines
In this paper, the evidential networks (EN) are employed to quantify and propagate the aforementioned uncertainty and imprecision in fault tree analysis. ...
The figures of the logic gates and the converted equivalent EN, together with the associated truth tables and the conditional belief mass tables, are also presented in this work. ...
The results illustrate that the EN can quantify the imprecision and uncertainty and propagate this imprecision from the basic events to the top event. ...

Preliminary Interpretation Using Ambiguous Queries
2017
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology
The user interacts with it by specifying probability distributions over attributes, which then expresses imprecise conditions about the entities of interest. ...
Preliminary interpretation helps the user on the right query conditions by addressing three key challenges: 1) Efficiently computing results for an imprecise query. 2) Gives out the result of the sensitivity ...
This method is designed to accommodate uncertainty and imprecision in user-provided query conditions through two major technical contributions: A novel notion of sensitivity to quantify the impact of uncertainty ...

Scoring Imprecise Credences: A Mildly Immodest Proposal
2016
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
To do so, we employ a (slightlygeneralized) impossibility theorem of Seidenfeld, Schervish, and Kadane (2012) , who show that there is no strictly proper scoring rule for imprecise probabilities. ...
The second is a shift from a numerically precise model of belief to an imprecise model represented by a set of probability functions (2010). ...

Reliability Analysis of Aircraft Servo-Actuation Systems Using Evidential Networks
2012
International journal of turbo & jet-engines
The EN manage and quantify the imprecision of the servo-actuation effectively, and propagate imprecision from the root nodes to the top nodes representing the system reliability. ...
In the mean time, available data is insufficient and imprecise during its design stage. In this paper, evidential networks (EN) are used to handle imprecise probabilities. ...
A conditional belief function quantifies the dependency between a node and its parents And it allows for computing its mass distribution according to other variables [17] . ...

Tolerance Analysis Approach based on the Classification of Uncertainty (Aleatory/Epistemic)

It presents: a brief view of the uncertainty classification: Aleatory uncertainty comes from the inherent uncertain nature and phenomena, and epistemic uncertainty comes from the lack of knowledge, a formulation ...

Probability Semantics for Aristotelian Syllogisms
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
For framing the Aristotelian syllogisms as probabilistic inferences, we interpret basic syllogistic sentence types A, E, I, O by suitable precise and imprecise conditional probability assessments. ...
Based on a generalization of de Finetti's fundamental theorem to conditional probability, we investigate the coherent probability propagation rules of argument forms of the syllogistic Figures I, II, and ...

Bayesian Network Based Imprecise Probability Estimation Method for Wind Power Ramp Events
2021
Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy
In this paper, an imprecise conditional probability estimation method for WPREs is proposed based on the Bayesian network (BN) theory. ...
Meanwhile, by using the extracted dependencies and Bayesian rules, the method can simplify the conditional probability estimation and perform reliable prediction even with scarce samples. ...
An extended imprecise Dirichlet model (IDM) is then developed to quantify these unclear dependencies and establish the imprecise conditional probability table (CPT) at each node. ...
