This means that over time it will be hard to keep supplying 0505 customised gene finders for each genome. This calls for procedures to 0506 automatically generate species-specific gene finders and to re-train them as the 0507 quantity and quality of reliable gene annotation grows. RESULTS: We present a 0508 procedure, Agene, that automatically generates a species-specific gene predictor 0509 from a set of reliable mRNA sequences and a genome. We apply a Hidden Markov 0510 model (HMM) that implements explicit length distribution modelling for all gene 0511 structure blocks using acyclic discrete phase type distributions. The state 0512 structure of the each HMM is generated dynamically from an array of sub-models 0513 to include only gene features represented in the training set. CONCLUSION: 0514 Acyclic discrete phase type distributions are well suited to model sequence 0515 length distributions. The performance of each individual gene predictor on each 0516 individual genome is comparable to the best of the manually optimised 0517 species-specific gene finders. It is shown that species-specific gene finders 0518 are superior to gene finders trained on other species.}, 0519 author = {Kasper Munch and Anders Krogh}, 0520 doi = {10.1186/1471-2105-7-263}, 0521 issn = {1471-2105}, 0522 journal = {BMC Bioinformatics}, 0523 localfile = {article/Munch-Krogh-2006.pdf}, 0524 number = {1}, 0525 pages = {263}, 0526 publisher = {BioMed Central Ltd}, 0527 title = {Automatic generation of gene finders for eukaryotic species}, 0528 volume = {7}, 0529 year = {2006} 0530 } 0531 0532 @article{Basu-Pereira-1983b, 0533 abstract = {The theory of conditional independence is explained and the 0534 relations between ancillarity, sufficiency and statistical independence are 0535 discussed in depth.

A paradigm is the 0636 problem of predicting the colour of the next marble to be drawn from a bag whose 0637 contents are (initially) completely unknown. In such problems we may be unable 0638 to formulate a sample space because we do not know what outcomes are possible. 0639 This suggests an invariance principle: inferences based on observations should 0640 not depend on the sample space in which the observations and future events of 0641 interest are represented. Objective Bayesian methods do not satisfy this 0642 principle. This paper describes a statistical model, called the imprecise 0643 Dirichlet model, for drawing coherent inferences from multinomial data. 0644 Inferences are expressed in terms of posterior upper and lower probabilities. 0645 The probabilities are initially vacuous, reflecting prior ignorance, but they 0646 become more precise as the number of observations increases. This model does 0647 satisfy the invariance principle. Two sets of data are analysed in detail. In 0648 the first example one red marble is observed in six drawings from a bag. 0649 Inferences from the imprecise Dirichlet model are compared with objective 0650 Bayesian and frequentist inferences. The second example is an analysis of data 0651 from medical trials which compared two treatments for cardiorespiratory failure 0652 in newborn babies. There are two problems: to draw conclusions about which 0653 treatment is more effective and to decide when the randomized trials should be 0654 terminated.

Psychological models 0972 attempt to accommodate the numerous violations of rationality axioms, including 0973 independence and transitivity. Meanwhile, normatively oriented decision analysts 0974 continue to insist on the applied usefulness of the subjective expected utility 0975 (SEU) model. As this gap has widened, two facts have remained largely 0976 unobserved. First, most people in real situations attempt to behave in accord 0977 with the most basic rationality principles, even though they are likely to fail 0978 in more complex situations. Second, the SEU model is likely to provide 0979 consistent and rational answers to decision problems within a given problem 0980 structure, but may not be invariant across structures. Thus, people may be more 0981 rational than the psychological literature gives them credit for, and 0982 applications of the SEU model may be susceptible to some violations of 0983 invariance principles. This paper attempts to search out the common ground 0984 between the normative, descriptive, and prescriptive modeling by exploring three 0985 types of axioms concerning structural rationality, preference rationality, and 0986 quasi-rationality. Normatively the first two are mandatory and the last, 0987 suspect. Descriptively, all have been questioned, but often the inferences 0988 involved have confounded preference and structural rationality. We propose a 0989 prescriptive view that entails full compliance with preference rationality, 0990 modifications of structural rationality, and acceptance of quasi-rationality to 0991 the extent of granting a primary role to the status quo and the decomposition of 0992 decision problems into gains and losses.}, 0993 author = {R.

In this paper, under the assumption that the variance 1109 function is simple quadratic, the order-invariant group reference prior for the 1110 above parameter is found. Furthermore, group reference priors for the mean- and 1111 natural parameter of the families are obtained. A brief discussion of the 1112 frequentist coverage properties is also presented. The theory is illustrated for 1113 the multinomial and negative-multinomial family.

A 1306 user requesting content that can be served by the cache is able to avoid the 1307 delays inherent in the Web, such as congested networks and slow servers. The 1308 difficulty, then, is to determine what content to prefetch into the cache. This 1309 work explores machine learning algorithms for user sequence prediction, both in 1310 general and speciffically for sequences of Web requests. We also consider 1311 information retrieval techniques to allow the use of the content of Web pages to 1312 help predict future requests. Although history-based mechanisms can provide 1313 strong performance in predicting future requests, performance can be improved by 1314 including predictions from additional sources. While past researchers have used 1315 a variety of techniques for evaluating caching algorithms and systems, most of 1316 those methods were not applicable to the evaluation of prefetching algorithms or 1317 systems. Therefore, two new mechanisms for evaluation are introduced. The first 1318 is a detailed trace-based simulator, built from scratch, that estimates 1319 client-side response times in a simulated network of clients, caches, and Web 1320 servers with various connectivity. This simulator is then used to evaluate 1321 various prefetching approaches. The second evaluation method presented is a 1322 novel architecture to simultaneously evaluate multiple proxy caches in a live 1323 network, which we introduce, implement, and demonstrate through experiments. The 1324 simulator is appropriate for evaluation of algorithms and research ideas, while 1325 simultaneous proxy evaluation is ideally suited to implemented systems.

A hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to model the distributions of 1919 tiling array probe scores in expressed and non-expressed regions. The HMM is 1920 trained on sets of probes mapped to regions of annotated expression and 1921 non-expression. Subsequently, prediction of transcribed fragments is made on 1922 tiled genomic sequence. The prediction is accompanied by an expression 1923 probability curve for visual inspection of the supporting evidence. We test 1924 ExpressHMM on data from the Cheng et al. (2005) tiling array experiments on ten 1925 Human chromosomes [1]. Results can be downloaded and viewed from our web site 1926 [2]. CONCLUSION: The value of adaptive modelling of fluorescence scores prior to 1927 categorisation into expressed and non-expressed probes is demonstrated. Our 1928 results indicate that our adaptive approach is superior to the previous analysis 1929 in terms of nucleotide sensitivity and transfrag specificity.}, 1930 author = {Kasper Munch and Paul Gardner and Peter Arctander and Anders Krogh}, 1931 doi = {10.1186/1471-2105-7-239}, 1932 issn = {1471-2105}, 1933 journal = {BMC Bioinformatics}, 1934 localfile = {article/Munch-etal-2006.pdf}, 1935 number = {1}, 1936 pages = {239}, 1937 publisher = {BioMed Central Ltd}, 1938 title = {A hidden Markov model approach for determining expression from genomic tiling micro arrays}, 1939 volume = {7}, 1940 year = {2006} 1941 } 1942 1943 @phdthesis{Mevel-1997, 1944 author = {Laurent Mevel}, 1945 school = {Université de Rennes}, 1946 title = {Statistique asymptotique pour les modèles de Markov cachés}, 1947 year = {1997} 1948 } 1949 1950 @article{DeCooman-2001, 1951 abstract = {The paper discusses integration and some aspects of 1952 conditioning in numerical possibility theory, where possibility measures have 1953 the behavioural interpretation of upper probabilities, that is, systems of upper 1954 betting rates. In such a context, integration can be used to extend upper 1955 probabilities to upper previsions. It is argued that the role of the fuzzy 1956 integral in this context is limited, as it can only be used to define a coherent 1957 upper prevision if the associated upper probability is 0–1-valued, in which 1958 case it moreover coincides with the Choquet integral. These results are valid 1959 for arbitrary coherent upper probabilities, and therefore also relevant for 1960 possibility theory. It follows from the discussion that in a numerical context, 1961 the Choquet integral is better suited than the fuzzy integral for producing 1962 coherent upper previsions starting from possibility measures. At the same time, 1963 alternative expressions for the Choquet integral associated with a possibility 1964 measure are derived.

This is a fundamental problem in general, and of particular 2146 interest for Bayesian networks. Recently, Grünwald and Halpern have shown that 2147 commonly used updating strategies fail in this case, except under very special 2148 assumptions. In this paper we propose a new method for updating probabilities 2149 with incomplete observations. Our approach is deliberately conservative: we make 2150 no assumptions about the so-called incompleteness mechanism that associates 2151 complete with incomplete observations. We model our ignorance about this 2152 mechanism by a vacuous lower prevision, a tool from the theory of imprecise 2153 probabilities, and we use only coherence arguments to turn prior into posterior 2154 (updated) probabilities. In general, this new approach to updating produces 2155 lower and upper posterior probabilities and previsions (expectations), as well 2156 as partially determinate decisions. This is a logical consequence of the 2157 existing ignorance about the incompleteness mechanism. As an example, we use the 2158 new updating method to properly address the apparent paradox in the [`]Monty 2159 Hall' puzzle. More importantly, we apply it to the problem of classification of 2160 new evidence in probabilistic expert systems, where it leads to a new, so-called 2161 conservative updating rule. In the special case of Bayesian networks constructed 2162 using expert knowledge, we provide an exact algorithm to compare classes based 2163 on our updating rule, which has linear-time complexity for a class of networks 2164 wider than polytrees. This result is then extended to the more general framework 2165 of credal networks, where computations are often much harder than with Bayesian 2166 nets. Using an example, we show that our rule appears to provide a solid basis 2167 for reliable updating with incomplete observations, when no strong assumptions 2168 about the incompleteness mechanism are justified.}, 2169 author = {Gert {De Cooman} and Marco Zaffalon}, 2170 doi = {10.1016/j.artint.2004.05.006}, 2171 issn = {0004-3702}, 2172 journal = {Artificial Intelligence}, 2173 keywords = {Incomplete observations; Updating probabilities}, 2174 localfile = {article/DeCooman-Zaffalon-2004-incomplete.pdf}, 2175 number = {1-2}, 2176 pages = {75–125}, 2177 publisher = {Elsevier}, 2178 title = {Updating beliefs with incomplete observations}, 2179 volume = {159}, 2180 year = {2004} 2181 } 2182 2183 @article{Liu-Mueller-2003, 2184 author = {Xueli Liu and Hans-Georg Müller}, 2185 doi = {10.1093/bioinformatics}, 2186 journal = {Bioinformatics}, 2187 localfile = {article/Liu-Mueller-2003.pdf}, 2188 number = {15}, 2189 pages = {1937–1944}, 2190 title = {Modes and clustering for time-warped gene expression profile data}, 2191 volume = {19}, 2192 year = {2003} 2193 } 2194 2195 @book{DeGroot-2004, 2196 annote = {Wiley Classics Library Edition}, 2197 author = {Morris H.

In this paper one particular instance of 2372 this difficulty is considered, the so-called sampling of species problem. The 2373 classical probabilistic theories of inductive inference due to Laplace, Johnson, 2374 de Finetti, and Carnap adopt a model of simple enumerative induction in which 2375 there are a prespecified number of types or species which may be observed. But, 2376 realistically, this is often not the case. In 1838 the English mathematician 2377 Augustus De Morgan proposed a modification of the Laplacian model to accommodate 2378 situations where the possible types or species to be observed are not assumed to 2379 be known in advance; but he did not advance a justification for his solution. In 2380 this paper a general philosophical approach to such problems is suggested, 2381 drawing on work of the English mathematician J. F. C. Kingman. It then emerges 2382 that the solution advanced by De Morgan has a very deep, if not totally 2383 unexpected, justification. The key idea is that although lsquoexchangeablersquo 2384 random sequences are the right objects to consider when all possible 2385 outcome-types are known in advance, exchangeable random partitions are the right 2386 objects to consider when they are not. The result turns out to be very 2387 satisfying.

These methods are demonstrated on the 2632 globin family, the protein kinase catalytic domain, and the EF-hand calcium 2633 binding motif. In each case the parameters of an HMM are estimated from a 2634 training set of unaligned sequences. After the HMM is built, it is used to 2635 obtain a multiple alignment of all the training sequences. It is also used to 2636 search the SWISS-PROT 22 database for other sequences that are members of the 2637 given protein family, or contain the given domain. The HMM produces multiple 2638 alignments of good quality that agree closely with the alignments produced by 2639 programs that incorporate three-dimensional structural information. When 2640 employed in discrimination tests (by examining how closely the sequences in a 2641 database fit the globin, kinase and EF-hand HMMs), the HMM is able to 2642 distinguish members of these families from non-members with a high degree of 2643 accuracy. Both the HMM and PROFILESEARCH (a technique used to search for 2644 relationships between a protein sequence and multiply aligned sequences) perform 2645 better in these tests than PROSITE (a dictionary of sites and patterns in 2646 proteins). The HMM appears to have a slight advantage over PROFILESEARCH in 2647 terms of lower rates of false negatives and false positives, even though the HMM 2648 is trained using only unaligned sequences, whereas PROFILESEARCH requires 2649 aligned training sequences.

Credal nets appear to be powerful means to represent and deal 2930 with many important and challenging problems in uncertain reasoning. We give 2931 examples to show that some of these problems can only be modeled by credal nets 2932 called non-separately specified. These, however, are still missing a graphical 2933 representation language and updating algorithms. The situation is quite the 2934 opposite with separately specified credal nets, which have been the subject of 2935 much study and algorithmic development. This paper gives two major 2936 contributions. First, it delivers a new graphical language to formulate any type 2937 of credal network, both separately and non-separately specified. Second, it 2938 shows that any non-separately specified net represented with the new language 2939 can be easily transformed into an equivalent separately specified net, defined 2940 over a larger domain. This result opens up a number of new outlooks and concrete 2941 outcomes: first of all, it immediately enables the existing algorithms for 2942 separately specified credal nets to be applied to non-separately specified ones. 2943 We explore this possibility for the 2U algorithm: an algorithm for exact 2944 updating of singly connected credal nets, which is extended by our results to a 2945 class of non-separately specified models. We also consider the problem of 2946 inference on Bayesian networks, when the reason that prevents some of the 2947 variables from being observed is unknown. The problem is first reformulated in 2948 the new graphical language, and then mapped into an equivalent problem on a 2949 separately specified net. This provides a first algorithmic approach to this 2950 kind of inference, which is also proved to be NP-hard by similar transformations 2951 based on our formalism.}, 2952 author = {Alessandro Antonucci and Marco Zaffalon}, 2953 doi = {10.1016/j.ijar.2008.02.005}, 2954 issn = {0888-613X}, 2955 journal = {International Journal of Approximate Reasoning}, 2956 keywords = {Bayesian networks; Conservative inference rule; Conservative updating; Credal networks; Credal sets; Imprecise probabilities; Probabilistic graphical models}, 2957 localfile = {article/Antonucci-Zaffalon-2008.pdf}, 2958 number = {2}, 2959 pages = {345–361}, 2960 title = {Decision-theoretic specification of credal networks: A unified language for uncertain modeling with sets of Bayesian networks}, 2961 volume = {49}, 2962 year = {2008} 2963 } 2964 2965 @article{Kschischang-Frey-Loeliger-2001, 2966 abstract = {Algorithms that must deal with complicated global functions 2967 of many variables often exploit the manner in which the given functions factor 2968 as a product of ldquo;local rdquo; functions, each of which depends on a subset 2969 of the variables.

Such decisions are difficult to 3442 make because precise information about probabilities is not available, and the 3443 dynamics of the decision are complex. When faced with such problems, naïve 3444 decision-makers fall prey to a wide range of potentially harmful biases, such as 3445 failing to recognize a high-stakes problem, ignoring the information about 3446 probabilities that does exist, and responding to complexity by accepting the 3447 status quo.

In this paper, we present a credal network for risk evaluation in 3860 case of intrusion of civil aircrafts into a restricted flight area. The 3861 different factors relevant for this evaluation, together with an independence 3862 structure over them, are initially identified. These factors are observed by 3863 sensors, whose reliabilities can be affected by variable external factors, and 3864 even by the behaviour of the intruder. A model of these observation processes, 3865 and the necessary fusion scheme for the information returned by the sensors 3866 measuring the same factor, are both completely embedded into the structure of 3867 the credal network. A pool of experts, facilitated in their task by specific 3868 techniques to convert qualitative judgements into imprecise probabilistic 3869 assessments, has made possible the quantification of the network.

The objective is to generalize a forecasting method already used to 4531 predict daily consumption of electricity. The developed method will be compared 4532 to Hydromax, an existing riverflow forecasting model. The developed method 4533 simultaneously generates a series of consecutive flow predictions called a flow 4534 curve. This is done by combining separate forecasts for the mean, standard 4535 deviation and the normalized profile of the flow curve. Therefore, three 4536 separate forecasting models will be used, one for each of the aforementioned 4537 flow curve components. To understand the difficulties involved in riverflow 4538 forecasting we first take a look at the relevant hydrological concepts and the 4539 data used in constructing and testing the forecasting method. We will 4540 principally be interested in the prediction of floods, as these phenomena can 4541 have dire socioeconomic consequences if they take place without a timely 4542 warning. Some of the forecasting models will be based on mathematical techniques 4543 derived from the field of artificial neural networks. As an introduction we will 4544 shortly elaborate on this field before presenting a more profound study of the 4545 two derived techniques we will use. These are the so-called `self-organizing 4546 maps' and `radial basis function networks'. An essential part of the forecasting 4547 method are linear and nonlinear regression models. We shall take a look at these 4548 parameterized prediction models, the associated prediction errors and the 4549 parameter estimation involved in constructing them. Thus being well prepared, we 4550 will have at this stage a close look at the Hydromax model and explain the 4551 forecasting method we have developed. They will be compared in terms of the data 4552 needed and the hydrological knowledge involved. Finally, we will show how the 4553 developed method is used in practice. The obtained results will be compared with 4554 those obtained by Hydromax, and remarks will be made about possible 4555 improvements.

A common 5260 approach, that of de Finetti for example, assumes that the individual is willing 5261 to take either side of the bet, so that the bet is “fair” from the individual's 5262 point of view. This can sometimes be unrealistic, and leads to difficulties in 5263 the case of conditional probabilities or previsions. An alternative conception 5264 is presented in which it is only assumed that the collection of acceptable bets 5265 forms a convex cone, rather than a linear space. This leads to the more general 5266 conception of an upper conditional prevision. The main concerns of the paper are 5267 with the extension of upper conditional previsions.

A scoring rule is proper if the forecaster 5376 maximizes the expected score for an observation drawn from the distributionF if 5377 he or she issues the probabilistic forecast F, rather than G ≠ F. It is strictly 5378 proper if the maximum is unique. In prediction problems, proper scoring rules 5379 encourage the forecaster to make careful assessments and to be honest. In 5380 estimation problems, strictly proper scoring rules provide attractive loss and 5381 utility functions that can be tailored to the problem at hand. This article 5382 reviews and develops the theory of proper scoring rules on general probability 5383 spaces, and proposes and discusses examples thereof. Proper scoring rules derive 5384 from convex functions and relate to information measures, entropy functions, and 5385 Bregman divergences. In the case of categorical variables, we prove a rigorous 5386 version of the Savage representation. Examples of scoring rules for 5387 probabilistic forecasts in the form of predictive densities include the 5388 logarithmic, spherical, pseudospherical, and quadratic scores. The continuous 5389 ranked probability score applies to probabilistic forecasts that take the form 5390 of predictive cumulative distribution functions. It generalizes the absolute 5391 error and forms a special case of a new and very general type of score, the 5392 energy score. Like many other scoring rules, the energy score admits a kernel 5393 representation in terms of negative definite functions, with links to 5394 inequalities of Hoeffding type, in both univariate and multivariate settings. 5395 Proper scoring rules for quantile and interval forecasts are also discussed. We 5396 relate proper scoring rules to Bayes factors and to cross-validation, and 5397 propose a novel form of cross-validation known as random-fold cross-validation. 5398 A case study on probabilistic weather forecasts in the North American Pacific 5399 Northwest illustrates the importance of propriety.

Mathematically, all the measures can be regarded 5885 as types of coherent lower or upper previsions, and this perspective gives some 5886 insight into the properties of belief functions and possibility measures. The 5887 measures are evaluated according to six criteria: clarity of interpretation; 5888 ability to model partial information and imprecise assessments, especially 5889 judgements expressed in natural language; rules for combining and updating 5890 uncertainty, and their justification; consistency of models and inferences; 5891 feasibility of assessment; and feasibility of computations.

We derive an Expectation Maximization (EM) 6223 algorithm to find the maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters of our 6224 mixture model, and provide various experimental results to evaluate the 6225 “correctness” of our formulation.

Hierbij maken de spelers gebruik van een geschiedenis van 6271 reeds gespeelde sessies om inschattingen te maken over de waarschijnlijke 6272 strategiekeuze van een tegenspeler. Op die waarschijnlijk geachte strategiekeuze 6273 baseren de spelers zich om een eigen strategie te kiezen. We bestuderen hiervoor 6274 eerst de wetenschapsdiscipline genaamd speltheorie. We gaan hier in op 6275 kenmerkende elementen van spelen en bekijken mogelijke voorstellingswijzen. We 6276 gaan dieper in op de voorstelling van een spel in de strategische vorm. Een 6277 strategie, een geheel aan regels die de keuze van acties binnen een spel 6278 volledig bepalen, en de opbrengstfunctie, die de uitslag van een spel voor de 6279 speler vastlegt, worden gedefinieerd. We bekijken hoe we de strategieën van een 6280 spel kunnen onderverdelen en welke strategieën optimaal zijn voor een speler. Zo 6281 komen we tot volgende concepten: beste antwoord, wat de verzameling van 6282 strategieën is die de opbrengst van de speler maximaliseert voor een gegeven 6283 strategie van zijn tegenspeler; evenwicht, wat een strategiecombinatie is waar 6284 geen enkele speler er voordeel bij heeft om van strategie te veranderen; 6285 dominantie, wat een methode is om strategieën te identificeren die het best niet 6286 gespeeld worden en maximin-strategie, wat een voorzichtige strategiekeuze is. In 6287 tweede instantie bespreken we imprecieze waarschijnlijkheden, wat een 6288 onzekerheidsmodel is waar niet alleen rekening kan worden gehouden met 6289 onzekerheid, maar ook met onbepaaldheid. We gaan in op de gevolgen van 6290 rationaliteitvereisten voor dit model en zijn rekenregels. Er wordt tevens een 6291 interpretatie op basis van gokgedrag gegeven aan de grootheden die we gebruiken 6292 om waarschijnlijkheden uit te drukken. Voortbouwend op het voorgaande wordt 6293 onderzocht hoe we een beslissing kunnen maken tussen keuzes voor verschillende 6294 mogelijke strategieën. Dit leidt tot de definitie van maximale strategieën, die 6295 goede keuzes zijn voor een speler. Deze beslissingen worden gebaseerd op het 6296 Dirichletmodel, dat inschattingen weergeeft over de strategiekeuze van een 6297 tegenspeler. We leggen ook uit hoe dit model bijgesteld kan worden door 6298 verrekening van de informatie bekomen uit reeds gespeelde sessies. Door het 6299 voorgaande te combineren kunnen we de beoogde leermethode formuleren. We maken 6300 hier een onderscheid tussen een precieze methode, waarbij er geen rekening wordt 6301 gehouden met eventuele onbepaaldheid en twee imprecieze methodes, waarbij dit 6302 wel gebeurt. Uiteindelijk bekijken we de dynamica van de leermethode, namelijk 6303 de evolutie van de inschattingen van spelers en de door hen gespeelde 6304 strategieën.

This has become possible with the 6380 development of models of imprecise probabilities, such as the interval 6381 probability model. In this paper we discuss some modelling approaches which 6382 range from simple probability intervals to the general interval probability 6383 models and further to the models allowing completely general convex sets of 6384 probabilities. The basic idea is that precisely known initial distributions and 6385 transition matrices are replaced by imprecise ones, which effectively means that 6386 sets of possible candidates are considered. Consequently, sets of possible 6387 results are obtained and represented using similar imprecise probability models. 6388 We first set up the model and then show how to perform calculations of the 6389 distributions corresponding to the consecutive steps of a Markov chain. We 6390 present several approaches to such calculations and compare them with respect to 6391 the accuracy of the results.

A detailed comparison is 7939 given between the possibilistic and natural extension of an upper probability, 7940 both in the general case and for upper probabilities defined on a class of 7941 nested sets. We prove in particular that a possibility measure is the 7942 restriction to events of the natural extension of a special kind of upper 7943 probability, defined on a class of nested sets.

The overall objective was to 9523 investigate whether selection of the alerted cows that need further 9524 investigation for CM can be made. For this purpose, non-AMS cow information and 9525 detailed alert information were used. During a 2-yr study period, 11,156 alerts 9526 for CM, including 159 true-positive alerts, were collected at one farm in the 9527 Netherlands. Non-AMS cow information on parity, days in milk, season of the 9528 year, somatic cell count history, and CM history was added to each alert. In 9529 addition, 6 alert information variables were defined. These were the height of 9530 electrical conductivity, the alert origin (electrical conductivity, color, or 9531 both), whether or not a color alert for mastitic milk was given, whether or not 9532 a color alert for abnormal milk was given, deviation from the expected milk 9533 yield, and the number of alerts of the cow in the preceding 12 to 96\&\#xa0;h. 9534 Subsequently, naive Bayesian networks (NBN) were constructed to compute the 9535 posterior probability of an alert being truly positive based only on non-AMS cow 9536 information, based on only alert information, or based on both types of 9537 information. The NBN including both types of information had the highest area 9538 under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC; 0.78), followed by the 9539 NBN including only alert information (AUC\&\#xa0;=\&\#xa0;0.75) and the NBN 9540 including only non-AMS cow information (AUC\&\#xa0;=\&\#xa0;0.62). By combining 9541 the 2 types of information and by setting a threshold on the computed 9542 probabilities, the number of false-positive alerts on a mastitis alert list was 9543 reduced by 35\%, and 10\% of the true-positive alerts would not be identified. 9544 To detect CM cases at a farm with an AMS, checking all alerts is still the best 9545 option but would result in a high workload. Checking alerts based on a single 9546 alert information variable would result in missing too many true-positive cases. 9547 Using a combination of alert information variables, however, is the best way to 9548 select cows that need further investigation.
