Figure 7.1. A causal graph for risk analysis. The model depicted in this figure can be formalized using a Bayesian network (Ricci et al. 2006) A probabilistic framework interprets the model described in this figure as a Bayesian belief network or causal graph model. Each variable with inward-pointing arrows is interpreted as a random variable with a conditional probability distribution that depends only on the values of the variables that point into it. The essence of this approach to modeling and evaluating uncertain risks is to sample successively from the (often conditional) distribution of each variable, given the values of its predecessors. Algorithms exist to identify and validate possible causal structures. Figure 7.1. A causal graph for risk analysis.

It is difficult to cover the wide range of so many different network modeling approaches, but we will attempt to briefly introduce three widely used network modeling techniques in this chapter Boolean network (BN), Bayesian belief network, and metabolic network modeling methods. [Pg.250]

A Bayesian (belief) network is a graphical model for probabilistic relationships among a set of variables whose joint probability distributions are compactly represented in relation to future data. The Bayesian network has several advantages in modeling biological network systems ... [Pg.259]

In the following, we will first deseribe the related regulatory issues. Then, we will present the basic approach to performing qualitative risk analysis based on Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) to identify unnecessary conservatism. A ease study dealing with the issue of independent verifieation and vahdation (IV V) will then be diseussed, followed by a eonclusion. [Pg.70]

A QA process model consists of elements representing software development staffs, software QA staffs, development activities, QA activities and documents generated. Our major concern, quality, is represented as defects density. Each element is represented as a node and is coimected based on its casual relation with other elements. Each node is further designated with 2 5 states representing its status, for example, the undesired event is represented as defect density at high status. In reality, the relation between QA process elements is not static and fixed, i.e., the influence of one node on the other node often exhibits probabilistic and interactive behavior. In order to represent the probabilistic behavior of QA process, we apply Bayesian Belief Network (BBN)(Jensen, 1996) technique. A typical QA process represented in BBN is shown in Fig 3. [Pg.72]

Characterization of uncertainties in the operation and economies of the proposed seawater desalination plant in the Gaza Strip was made by using a Bayesian belief network (BBN) approach [80]. In particular, the model was used to (1) characterize the different uncertainties involved in the RO process, (2) optimize the RO process reliability and cost, and (3) study how uncertainty in unit capital cost, unit operation and maintenance (O M) cost, and permeate quality was related to different input variables. The minimum specific capital cost was found to be 0.224 0.064 US /m, and the minimum O M cost was found to be 0.59 0.11 US /m. This unit cost was for a production capacity of 140,000 mVday. [Pg.47]

As we might expeet by this stage in the book, most of the usual classification/regression algorithms have been applied to the duration predietion problem. These include decision trees [372], neural networks for phone prediction [109], [157], genetic algorithms [319] and Bayesian belief networks [182], Comparative studies of deeision trees and neural networks found little difference in accuracy between either approaeh, [473], [187], [72],... [Pg.261]

Another type of dependency is that which results from some sort of causal mechanism. Such causality is often represented in Data Mining by using Bayesian Belief Networks which discover and describe. Such causal models allow us to predict consequences, even when circumstances change. If a rule just describes an association, then we cannot be sure how robust or generalizable it will be in the face of changing circumstances. [Pg.81]

A key feature of Bayesian Belief Networks is that they discover and describe causality rather than merely identifying associations as is the case in standard Statistics and Database Technology. Such causal relationships are represented by means of DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) that are also used to describe conditional independence assumptions. Such conditional independence occurs when two variables are independent, conditional on another variable. [Pg.85]
