0004         abstract = {The theory of sets of desirable gambles is a very general model which covers most of the existing theories for imprecise probability as special cases; it has a clear and simple axiomatic justification; and mathematical definitions are natural and intuitive. However, much work remains to be done until the theory of desirable gambles can be considered as generally applicable to reasoning tasks as other approaches to imprecise probability are. This paper gives an overview of some of the fundamental concepts for reasoning with uncertainty expressed in terms of desirable gambles in the finite case, provides a characterization of regular extension, and studies the nature of maximally coherent sets of desirable gambles, which correspond to finite sequences of probability distributions, each one of them defined on the set where the previous one assigns probability zero.},

0394 Then, based on these updated beliefs, the designer must make a decision between

0396 reliability assessments and the decision policy that the designer uses. We
0397 consider four statistical approaches for modeling the uncertainty about the new

0399 precise Bayesian approach, a robust Bayesian approach, and an imprecise
0400 probability approach. The paper investigates the impact of different approaches
0401 on the decision between the components and compares them. In particular, given

0504 rapidly increasing. 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.},

0634         abstract = {A new method is proposed for making inferences from
0635 multinomial data in cases where there is no prior information. 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. This example shows how the imprecise Dirichlet model can be used to
0655 analyse data in the form of a contingency table.},

0775 Fisher's conditional-Poisson approach to the multinomial and the logarithmic
0776 transformation of gamma variables to normality, he showed that linear contrasts
0777 in the logarithms of the cell probabilities $\theta$\_i are asymptotically
0778 jointly normal and suggested that the approximation can be improved by applying
0779 a "correction" to the sample. By studying the asymptotic series for the joint
0780 distribution in Section 2 an improved correction procedure is found below. A
0781 more detailed expansion is given in Section 3 for the distribution of a single
0782 contrast in the \log $\theta$\_i. In many problems a linear function of the
0783 $\theta$\_i is of interest. The exact distribution is obtained and is of a form
0784 familiar in the theory of serial correlation coefficients. A beta approximation
0785 is given. For three cells, a numerical example is given to show the merit of
0786 this approximation. A genetic linkage example is considered which requires the
0787 joint distribution of two linear functions of the $\theta$\_i. The exact joint
0788 distribution is found but is too involved for practical use. A normal
0789 approximation leads to Lindley's results [7].},

0867 well-defined coefficients and right hand sides. In order to avoid a non
0868 satisfying modeling usually a broad information gathering and processing is
0869 necessary. In case of real problems some model parameters can be only roughly
0870 estimated. While in case of classical models the vague data is replaced by
0871 "average data", fuzzy models offer the opportunity to model subjective
0872 imaginations of the decision maker as precisely as a decision maker will be able
0873 to describe it. Thus the risk of applying a wrong model of the reality and
0874 selecting solutions which do not reflect the real problem can be clearly
0875 reduced. The modeling of real problems by means of deterministic and stochastic
0876 models requires extensive information processing. On the other hand we know that
0877 an optimum solution is finally defined only by few restrictions. Especially in
0878 case of larger systems we notice afterwards that most of the information is
0879 useless. The dilemma of data processing is due to the fact that first we have to
0880 calculate the solution in order to define, whether the information must be
0881 well-defined or whether vague data may be sufficient. Based on multicriteria
0882 programming problems it should be demonstrated that the dilemma of data
0883 processing in case of real programming problems can be handled adequately by
0884 modeling them as fuzzy system combined with an interactive problem-solving.
0885 Describing the real problem by means of a fuzzy system first of all only the
0886 available information or such information which can be achieved easily will be
0887 considered. Then we try to develop an optimum solution. With reference to the
0888 cost-benefit relation further information can be gathered in order to describe
0889 the solution more precisely. Furthermore it should be pointed out that some
0890 interactive fuzzy solution algorithms, e.g. FULPAL provide the opportunity to
0891 solve mixed integer multicriteria programming models as well.},

0970         abstract = {Descriptive and normative modeling of decision making under
0971 risk and uncertainty have grown apart over the past decade. 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

1103         abstract = {Reference analysis is one of the most successful general
1104 methods to derive noninformative prior distributions. In practice, however,
1105 reference priors are often difficult to obtain. Recently developed theory for
1106 conditionally reducible natural exponential families identifies an attractive
1107 reparameterization which allows one, among other things, to construct an
1108 enriched conjugate prior. 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. Posterior computations are
1114 especially straightforward due to the fact that the resulting reference
1115 distributions belong to the corresponding enriched conjugate family. A
1116 substantive application of the theory relates to the construction of reference
1117 priors for the Bayesian analysis of two-way contingency tables with respect to
1118 two alternative parameterizations.},

1304         abstract = {User-perceived retrieval latencies in the World Wide Web can
1305 be improved by preloading a local cache with resources likely to be accessed. 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. We also
1326 consider the present and the future ofWeb prefetching, nding that changes to the
1327 HTTP standard will be required in order for Web prefetching to become
1328 commonplace.},

1667 imprecision by the use of probability theory. It is becoming increasingly clear,
1668 however, that in the case of many real world problems involving large scale
1669 systems such as economic systems, social systems, mass service systems, etc.,
1670 the major source of imprecision should more properly be labeled 'fuzziness'
1671 rather than 'randomness.' By fuzziness, we mean the type of imprecision which is
1672 associated with the lack of sharp transition from membership to nonmembership,
1673 as in tall men, small numbers, likely events, etc. In this paper our main
1674 concern is with the application of the theory of fuzzy sets to decision problems
1675 involving fuzzy goals and strategies, etc., as defined by R. E. Bellman and L.
1676 A. Zadeh [1]. However, in our approach, the emphasis is on mathematical
1677 programming and the use of the concept of a level set to extend some of the
1678 classical results to problems involving fuzzy constraints and objective

1797 approach. Bernardo (1996, p. 5) writes that its “message is very clear: if a
1798 sequence of observations is judged to be exchangeable, then any subset of them
1799 must be regarded as a random sample from some model, and there exists a prior
1800 distribution on the parameter of such model, hence requiring a Bayesian
1801 approach.” We argue that although exchangeability, interpreted as symmetry of
1802 evidence, is a weak assumption, when combined with subjective expected utility
1803 theory, it also implies complete confidence that experiments are identical. When
1804 evidence is sparse and there is little evidence of symmetry, this implication of
1805 de Finetti's hypotheses is not intuitive. This motivates our adoption of
1806 multiple-priors utility as the benchmark model of preference. We provide two
1807 alternative generalizations of the de Finetti Theorem for this framework. A
1808 model of updating is also provided.},

1825 facilitated metagenomics research that attempts to determine directly the whole
1826 collection of genetic material within an environmental sample (i.e. the
1827 metagenome). Identification of genes directly from short reads has become an
1828 important yet challenging problem in annotating metagenomes, since the assembly
1829 of metagenomes is often not available. Gene predictors developed for whole
1830 genomes (e.g. Glimmer) and recently developed for metagenomic sequences (e.g.
1831 MetaGene) show a significant decrease in performance as the sequencing error
1832 rates increase, or as reads get shorter. We have developed a novel gene
1833 prediction method FragGeneScan, which combines sequencing error models and codon
1834 usages in a hidden Markov model to improve the prediction of protein-coding
1835 region in short reads. The performance of FragGeneScan was comparable to Glimmer
1836 and MetaGene for complete genomes. But for short reads, FragGeneScan
1837 consistently outperformed MetaGene (accuracy improved ~62\% for reads of 400
1838 bases with 1\% sequencing errors, and ~18\% for short reads of 100 bases that
1839 are error free). When applied to metagenomes, FragGeneScan recovered
1840 substantially more genes than MetaGene predicted (>90\% of the genes identified
1841 by homology search), and many novel genes with no homologs in current protein

1914 for identifying previously undiscovered coding as well as non-coding

1916 an ad hoc fashion. RESULTS: We present a probabilistic procedure, ExpressHMM,
1917 that adaptively models tiling data prior to predicting expression on genomic
1918 sequence. 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

1927 categorisation into expressed and non-expressed probes is demonstrated. Our
1928 results indicate that our adaptive approach is superior to the previous analysis

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

2144 by Shafer in 1985, of updating probabilities when observations are incomplete
2145 (or set-valued). 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.},

2335 to estimate parameters from dependencies, formed in evolution, between
2336 frequencies of oligonucleotides in protein-coding regions and genome nucleotide
2337 composition. Original version of the method was proposed in 1999 and has been

2341 to enhance the original approach by using direct polynomial and logistic

2369         abstract = {A major difficulty for currently existing theories of
2370 inductive inference involves the question of what to do when novel, unknown, or
2371 previously unsuspected phenomena occur. 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. The classical theory has several basic elements: a representation
2388 theorem for the general exchangeable sequence (the de Finetti representation
2389 theorem), a distinguished class of sequences (those employing Dirichlet priors),
2390 and a corresponding rule of succession (the continuum of inductive methods). The
2391 new theory has parallel basic elements: a representation theorem for the general
2392 exchangeable random partition (the Kingman representation theorem), a
2393 distinguished class of random partitions (the Poisson-Dirichlet process), and a
2394 rule of succession which corresponds to De Morgan's rule.},

2477         abstract = {Hierarchical models are rather common in uncertainty theory.
2478 They arise when there is a ‘correct’ or ‘ideal’ (the so-called first-order)
2479 uncertainty model about a phenomenon of interest, but the modeler is uncertain
2480 about what it is. The modeler's uncertainty is then called second-order
2481 uncertainty. For most of the hierarchical models in the literature, both the
2482 first- and the second-order models are precise, i.e., they are based on
2483 classical probabilities. In the present paper, I propose a specific hierarchical
2484 model that is imprecise at the second level, which means that at this level,
2485 lower probabilities are used. No restrictions are imposed on the underlying
2486 first-order model: that is allowed to be either precise or imprecise. I argue
2487 that this type of hierarchical model generalizes and includes a number of
2488 existing uncertainty models, such as imprecise probabilities, Bayesian models,
2489 and fuzzy probabilities. The main result of the paper is what I call
2490 precision–imprecision equivalence: the implications of the model for decision
2491 making and statistical reasoning are the same, whether the underlying
2492 first-order model is assumed to be precise or imprecise.},

2560         abstract = {Bayesian networks are models for uncertain reasoning which
2561 are achieving a growing importance also for the data mining task of
2562 classification. Credal networks extend Bayesian nets to sets of distributions,
2563 or credal sets. This paper extends a state-of-the-art Bayesian net for
2564 classification, called tree-augmented naive Bayes classifier, to credal sets
2565 originated from probability intervals. This extension is a basis to address the
2566 fundamental problem of prior ignorance about the distribution that generates the
2567 data, which is a commonplace in data mining applications. This issue is often
2568 neglected, but addressing it properly is a key to ultimately draw reliable
2569 conclusions from the inferred models. In this paper we formalize the new model,
2570 develop an exact linear-time classification algorithm, and evaluate the credal
2571 net-based classifier on a number of real data sets. The empirical analysis shows
2572 that the new classifier is good and reliable, and raises a problem of excessive
2573 caution that is discussed in the paper. Overall, given the favorable trade-off
2574 between expressiveness and efficient computation, the newly proposed classifier
2575 appears to be a good candidate for the wide-scale application of reliable
2576 classifiers based on credal networks, to real and complex tasks.},

2630 statistical modeling, database searching and multiple sequence alignment of
2631 protein families and protein domains. 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. Our results suggest the presence of an EF-hand
2650 calcium binding motif in a highly conserved and evolutionary preserved putative
2651 intracellular region of 155 residues in the [alpha]-1 subunit of L-type calcium
2652 channels which play an important role in excitation-contraction coupling. This
2653 region has been suggested to contain the functional domains that are typical or
2654 essential for all L-type calcium channels regardless of whether they couple to
2655 ryanodine receptors, conduct ions or both.},

2893 combination of empirical evidence in an individual's mind in order to construct
2894 a coherent picture of reality. Designed to deal with unexpected empirical
2895 evidence suggesting new possibilities, evidence theory has a lot in common with
2896 Shackle's idea of decision-making as a creative act. This essay investigates
2897 this connection in detail, pointing to the usefulness of evidence theory to
2898 formalise and extend Shackle's decision theory. In order to ease a proper
2899 framing of the issues involved, evidence theory is not only compared with
2900 Shackle's ideas but also with additive and sub-additive probability theories.
2901 Furthermore, the presentation of evidence theory does not refer to the original
2902 version only, but takes account of its most recent developments, too.},

2927         abstract = {Credal networks are models that extend Bayesian nets to deal
2928 with imprecision in probability, and can actually be regarded as sets of
2929 Bayesian nets. 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.},

3001 designed to display calibration curves, from which a recalibration is to be
3002 calculated, are useless without due consideration for the interconnections
3003 between questions (forecasts) in the survey. (ii) Subject to feedback,
3004 calibration in the long run is otiose. It gives no ground for validating one
3005 coherent opinion over another as each coherent forecaster is (almost) sure of
3006 his own long-run calibration. (iii) Calibration in the short run is an
3007 inducement to hedge forecasts. A calibration score, in the short run, is
3008 improper. It gives the forecaster reason to feign violation of total evidence by
3009 enticing him to use the more predictable frequencies in a larger finite

3439 theme is that resolving high-stakes decisions optimally poses a formidable
3440 challenge not only to naïve decision makers, but also to users of more
3441 sophisticated tools, such as decision analysis. 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. A proposed agenda for future research focuses on how the process and
3448 outcomes of high-stakes decision making might be improved.},

3587         abstract = {A convex polytope P can be specified in two ways: as the
3588 convex hull of the vertex set V of P, or as the intersection of the set H of its
3589 facet-inducing halfspaces. The vertex enumeration problem is to compute V from
3590 H. The facet enumeration problem is to compute H from V. These two problems are
3591 essentially equivalent under point/hyperplane duality. They are among the
3592 central computational problems in the theory of polytopes. It is open whether
3593 they can be solved in time polynomial in |H| + |V| and the dimension. In this
3594 paper we consider the main known classes of algorithms for solving these
3595 problems. We argue that they all have at least one of two weaknesses: inability
3596 to deal well with "degeneracies", or, inability to control the sizes of
3597 intermediate results. We then introduce families of polytopes that exercise
3598 those weaknesses. Roughly speaking, fat-lattice or intricate polytopes cause
3599 algorithms with bad degeneracy handling to perform badly; dwarfed polytopes
3600 cause algorithms with bad intermediate size control to perform badly. We also
3601 present computational experience with trying to solve these problem on these
3602 hard polytopes, using various implementations of the main algorithms.},

3855         abstract = {Credal networks are imprecise probabilistic graphical models
3856 generalizing Bayesian networks to convex sets of probability mass functions.
3857 This makes credal networks particularly suited to model expert knowledge under
3858 very general conditions, including states of qualitative and incomplete
3859 knowledge. 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. We show the
3870 capabilities of the proposed model by means of some preliminary tests referred
3871 to simulated scenarios. Overall, we can regard this application as a useful tool
3872 to support military experts in their decision, but also as a quite general
3873 imprecise-probability paradigm for information fusion.},

3923 distribution with the parameter vector (pv) \mathbf{$\theta$}, if its
3924 probability function (pf) is given by \begin{equation*}\tag{1.1} f(\mathbf{x},
3925 \mathbf{$\theta$}) = h(\mathbf{x}) \exp {\mathbf{x'$\theta$} -
3926 q(\mathbf{$\theta$})},\end{equation*} \mathbf{x} \varepsilon R\_s and
3927 \mathbf{$\theta$} \varepsilon (\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}) \subset R\_s. R\_s
3928 denotes the s-dimensional Euclidean space. The s-dimensional open interval
3929 (\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}) may or may not be finite. h(\mathbf{x}) is a function
3930 of \mathbf{x}, independent of \mathbf{$\theta$}, and q(\mathbf{$\theta$}) is a
3931 bounded analytic function of $\theta$\_1, $\theta$\_2,⋯ $\theta$\_s, independent
3932 of \mathbf{x}. We note that f(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{$\theta$}), given by (1.1),
3933 defines the class of multivariate exponential-type distributions which includes
3934 distributions like multivariate normal, multinomial, multivariate negative
3935 binomial, multivariate logarithmic series, etc. This paper presents a
3936 theoretical study of the structural properties of the class of multivariate
3937 exponential-type distributions. For example, different distributions connected
3938 with a multivariate exponential-type distribution are derived. Statistical
3939 independence of the components x\_1, x\_2,⋯, x\_s is discussed. The problem of
3940 characterization of different distributions in the class is studied under
3941 suitable restrictions on the cumulants. A canonical representation of the
3942 characteristic function of an infinitely divisible (id), purely discrete random
3943 vector, whose moments of second order are all finite, is also obtained.
3944 $\phi$(\mathbf{t}), m(\mathbf{t}), k(\mathbf{t}) denote, throughout this paper,
3945 the characteristic function (ch. f.), the moment generating function (mgf), and
3946 the cumulant generating function (cgf), respectively, of a random vector
3947 \mathbf{x}. The components t\_i of the s-dimensional column vector \mathbf{t}
3948 are all real.},

4029 It is ideally suited to optimization under imprecise or conflicting goals,

4031 straightforward approach to constructing families of functions consistent with

4227 dependent: representing the same situation in two di erent ways may cause such a
4228 system to return two different answers. Some have viewed this as a significant
4229 problem. For example, the principle of maximum entropy has been subjected to
4230 much criticism due to its representation dependence. There has, however, been
4231 almost no work investigating representation dependence. In this paper, we
4232 formalize this notion and show that it is not a problem specific to maximum
4233 entropy. In fact, we show that any representation-independent probabilistic
4234 inference procedure that ignores irrelevant information is essentially
4235 entailment, in a precise sense. Moreover, we show that representation
4236 independence is incompatible with even a weak default assumption of
4237 independence. We then show that invariance under a restricted class of
4238 representation changes can form a reasonable compromise between representation
4239 independence and other desiderata, and provide a construction of a family of
4240 inference procedures that provides such restricted representation independence,

4476 Recent research indicates early and accurate diagnoses as the key to effectively
4477 cope with it. No definitive cure is available but in some cases when the
4478 impairment is still mild the disease can be contained. This paper describes a
4479 diagnostic tool that jointly uses the naive credal classifier and the most
4480 widely used computerized system of cognitive tests in dementia research, the
4481 Cognitive Drug Research system. The naive credal classifier extends the discrete
4482 naive Bayes classifier to imprecise probabilities. The naive credal classifier
4483 models both prior ignorance and ignorance about the likelihood by sets of
4484 probability distributions. This is a new way to deal with small and incomplete
4485 datasets that departs significantly from most established classification
4486 methods. In the empirical study presented here, the naive credal classifier
4487 provides reliability and unmatched predictive performance. It delivers up to
4488 95\% correct predictions while being very robust with respect to the partial
4489 ignorance due to the largely incomplete data. The diagnostic tool also proves to
4490 be very effective in discriminating between Alzheimer's disease and dementia

4529 river using past flow measurements, rainfall measurements and rainfall
4530 predictions. 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. We will conclude with showing that the developed method holds
4556 promise, but is not yet suitable for practical applications. Suggestions for
4557 further research are also included.},

4877 situation that exists when inputs are expressed as intervals or sets of
4878 intervals with no particular distribution specified over the intervals, or as
4879 probability distributions with interval-valued parameters. Three different
4880 approaches to measuring uncertainty, and hence uncertainty-based sensitivity,
4881 are explored. Variance-based sensitivity analysis (VBSA) estimates the
4882 contribution that each uncertain input, acting individually or in combination,
4883 makes to variance in the model output. The partial expected value of perfect
4884 information (partial EVPI), quantifies the (financial) value of learning the
4885 true numeric value of an input. For both of these sensitivity indices the
4886 generalization to closed convex sets of probability measures yields lower and
4887 upper sensitivity indices. Finally, the use of relative entropy as an
4888 uncertainty-based sensitivity index is introduced and extended to the imprecise

4942 reasoning: given finitely many conditional probability assessments, how to
4943 determine whether the assessments are mutually consistent, and how to determine
4944 what they imply about the conditional probabilities of other events? These
4945 problems were posed in 1854 by George Boole, who gave a partial solution using
4946 algebraic methods. The two problems are fundamental in applications of the
4947 Bayesian theory of probability; Bruno de Finetti solved the second problem for
4948 the special case of unconditional probability assessments in what he called ‘the
4949 fundamental theorem of probability’. We give examples to show that previous
4950 attempts to solve the two problems, using probabilistic logic and similar
4951 methods, can produce incorrect answers. Using ideas from the theory of imprecise
4952 probability, we show that the general problems have simple, direct solutions
4953 which can be implemented using linear programming algorithms. Unlike earlier
4954 proposals, our methods are formulated directly in terms of the assessments,
4955 without introducing unknown probabilities. Our methods work when any of the
4956 conditioning events may have probability zero, and they work when the
4957 assessments include imprecise (upper and lower) probabilities or previsions. The
4958 main methodological contribution of the paper is to provide general algorithms
4959 for making inferences from any finite collection of (possibly imprecise)
4960 conditional probabilities.},

5046 Wide Web increases the need for improved link navigation and path analysis
5047 models. Link prediction and path analysis are important problems with a wide
5048 range of applications ranging from personalization to Web server request
5049 prediction. The sheer size of the World Wide Web coupled with the variation in
5050 users' navigation patterns makes this a very difficult sequence modelling
5051 problem. In this paper, the notion of probabilistic link prediction and path
5052 analysis using Markov chains is proposed and evaluated. Markov chains allow the
5053 system to dynamically model the URL access patterns that are observed in
5054 navigation logs based on the previous state. Furthermore, the Markov chain model
5055 can also be used in a generative mode to automatically obtain tours. The Markov
5056 transition matrix can be analysed further using eigenvector decomposition to
5057 obtain `personalized hubs/authorities'. The utility of the Markov chain approach
5058 is demonstrated in many domains: HTTP request prediction, system-driven adaptive
5059 Web navigation, tour generation, and detection of `personalized
5060 hubs/authorities' from user navigation profiles. The generality and power of
5061 Markov chains is a first step towards the application of powerful probabilistic
5062 models to Web path analysis and link prediction.},

5077 empirical analysis of treatment response with the normative analysis of
5078 treatment choice under ambiguity. Imagine a planner who must choose a treatment
5079 rule assigning a treatment to each member of a heterogeneous population of
5080 interest. The planner observes certain covariates for each person. Each member
5081 of the population has a response function mapping treatments into a real-valued
5082 outcome of interest. Suppose that the planner wants to choose a treatment rule
5083 that maximizes the population mean outcome. An optimal rule assigns to each
5084 member of the population a treatment that maximizes mean outcome conditional on
5085 the person's observed covariates. However, identification problems in the
5086 empirical analysis of treatment response commonly prevent planners from knowing
5087 the conditional mean outcomes associated with alternative treatments; hence
5088 planners commonly face problems of treatment choice under ambiguity. The
5089 research surveyed here characterizes this ambiguity in practical settings where
5090 the planner may be able to bound but not identify the relevant conditional mean
5091 outcomes. The statistical problem of treatment choice using finite-sample data

5212 The notion of independence we associate with the credal network representing the

5214 sequences the (Walley–Sen) maximal sequences for the posterior joint state
5215 model (conditioned on the observed output sequence), associated with a gain
5216 function that is the indicator of the state sequence. This corresponds to (and
5217 generalises) finding the state sequence with the highest posterior probability
5218 in HMMs with precise transition and output probabilities (pHMMs). We argue that
5219 the computational complexity is at worst quadratic in the length of the Markov
5220 chain, cubic in the number of states, and essentially linear in the number of
5221 maximal state sequences. For binary iHMMs, we investigate experimentally how the

5259 explicated in terms of betting rates acceptable to an individual. A common

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

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. We note optimum score
5400 approaches to point and quantile estimation, and propose the intuitively
5401 appealing interval score as a utility function in interval estimation that
5402 addresses width as well as coverage.},

5476 The zonotope construction problem is to list all extreme points of a zonotope
5477 given by its line segments. By duality, it is equivalent to the arrangement
5478 construction problem—that is, to generate all regions of an arrangement of
5479 hyperplanes. By replacing line segments with convex V-polytopes, we obtain a
5480 natural generalization of the zonotope construction problem: the construction of
5481 the Minkowski addition of k polytopes. Gritzmann and Sturmfels studied this
5482 general problem in various aspects and presented polynomial algorithms for the
5483 problem when one of the parameters k or d is fixed. The main objective of the
5484 present work is to introduce an efficient algorithm for variable d and k. Here
5485 we call an algorithm efficient or polynomial if it runs in time bounded by a
5486 polynomial function of both the input size and the output size. The algorithm is
5487 a natural extension of a known algorithm for the zonotope construction, based on
5488 linear programming and reverse search. It is compact, highly parallelizable and
5489 very easy to implement. This work has been motivated by the use of polyhedral

5661 attributes are independent given the class, but the question of whether other
5662 sufficient conditions for its optimality exist has so far not been explored.
5663 Empirical results showing that it performs surprisingly well in many domains
5664 containing clear attribute dependences suggest that the answer to this question
5665 may be positive. This article shows that, although the Bayesian classifier's
5666 probability estimates are only optimal under quadratic loss if the independence
5667 assumption holds, the classifier itself can be optimal under zero-one loss
5668 (misclassification rate) even when this assumption is violated by a wide margin.
5669 The region of quadratic-loss optimality of the Bayesian classifier is in fact a
5670 second-order infinitesimal fraction of the region of zero-one optimality. This
5671 implies that the Bayesian classifier has a much greater range of applicability
5672 than previously thought. For example, in this article it is shown to be optimal
5673 for learning conjunctions and disjunctions, even though they violate the
5674 independence assumption. Further, studies in artificial domains show that it
5675 will often outperform more powerful classifiers for common training set sizes
5676 and numbers of attributes, even if its bias is a priori much less appropriate to
5677 the domain. This article's results also imply that detecting attribute
5678 dependence is not necessarily the best way to extend the Bayesian classifier,

5754 linear programs. First LP models with soft constraints are discussed. Then LP
5755 problems in which coefficients of constraints and/or of the objective function
5756 may be fuzzy are outlined. Pivotal questions are the interpretation of the
5757 inequality relation in fuzzy constraints and the meaning of fuzzy objectives. In
5758 addition to the commonly applied extended addition, based on the min-operator
5759 and used for the aggregation of the left-hand sides of fuzzy constraints and
5760 fuzzy objectives, a more flexible procedure, based on Yager's parametrized
5761 t-norm Tp, is presented. Finally practical applications of fuzzy linear programs
5762 are listed.},

5878 as models for uncertainty in expert systems. The measures are additive
5879 probabilities (used in the Bayesian theory), coherent lower (or upper)
5880 previsions, belief functions (used in the Dempster-Shafer theory) and
5881 possibility measures (fuzzy logic). Special emphasis is given to the theory of
5882 coherent lower previsions, in which upper and lower probabilities, expectations
5883 and conditional probabilities are constructed from initial assessments through a
5884 technique of natural extension. 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. Each of the four
5892 measures seems to be useful in special kinds of problems, but only lower and
5893 upper previsions appear to be sufficiently general to model the most common

6101 on polytrees. We develop a new efficient algorithm for approximate belief
6102 updating in credal networks. The algorithm is based on an important
6103 representation result we prove for general credal networks: that any credal
6104 network can be equivalently reformulated as a credal network with binary
6105 variables; moreover, the transformation, which is considerably more complex than
6106 in the Bayesian case, can be implemented in polynomial time. The equivalent
6107 binary credal network is then updated by L2U, a loopy approximate algorithm for
6108 binary credal networks. Overall, we generalize L2U to non-binary credal
6109 networks, obtaining a scalable algorithm for the general case, which is
6110 approximate only because of its loopy nature. The accuracy of the inferences
6111 with respect to other state-of-the-art algorithms is evaluated by extensive
6112 numerical tests.},

6126 making. The model departs from utility theory and prospect theory in its
6127 treatment of multiple goals and it suggests several different ways in which
6128 context can affect choice. It is particularly instructive to apply this model to
6129 protective decisions, which are often puzzling. Among other anomalies, people
6130 insure against non-catastrophic events, underinsure against catastrophic risks,
6131 and allow extraneous factors to influence insurance purchases and other
6132 protective decisions. Neither expected-utility theory nor prospect theory can
6133 explain these anomalies satisfactorily. To apply this model to the above
6134 anomalies, we consider many different insurance-related goals, organized in a

6136 decision rules. The paper concludes by suggesting some prescriptions for

6269         abstract = {We bestuderen een leermethode voor eindige spelen in de
6270 strategische vorm. 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. We onderzoeken voornamelijk onder welke voorwaarden er enkel
6305 convergentie naar een evenwicht zal optreden.},

6379 incorporate the imprecision into the models. 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. Next we consider a generalisation of the concept of
6392 regularity and study the convergence of regular imprecise Markov chains. We also

6461         abstract = {This paper addresses the problem of exchanging uncertainty
6462 assessments in multi-agent systems. Since it is assumed that each agent might
6463 completely ignore the internal representation of its partners, a common
6464 interchange format is needed. We analyze the case of an interchange format
6465 defined by means of imprecise probabilities, pointing out the reasons of this
6466 choice. A core problem with the interchange format concerns transformations from
6467 imprecise probabilities into other formalisms (in particular, precise
6468 probabilities, possibilities, belief functions). We discuss this so far little
6469 investigated question, analyzing how previous proposals, mostly regarding
6470 special instances of imprecise probabilities, would fit into this problem. We
6471 then propose some general transformation procedures, which take also account of
6472 the fact that information can be partial, i.e. may concern an arbitrary (finite)
6473 set of events.},

6936 issue and bounds computation provides confidence about service quality,
6937 reliability, etc. of such systems. The stochastic ordering theory has generated
6938 a lot of works on bounds computation. Maximal lower and minimal upper bounds of
6939 a Markov chain by a st-monotone one exist and can be efficiently computed. In
6940 the present work, we extend simultaneously this last result in two directions.
6941 On the one hand, we handle the case of a maximal monotone lower bound of a
6942 family of Markov chains where the coefficients are given by numerical intervals.
6943 On the other hand, these chains are sub-chains associated to sub-stochastic
6944 matrices. We prove the existence of this maximal bound and we provide polynomial
6945 time algorithms to compute it both for discrete and continuous Markov chains.
6946 Moreover, it appears that the bounding sub-chain of a family of strictly
6947 sub-stochastic ones is not necessarily strictly sub-stochastic. We establish a
6948 characterization of the families of sub-chains for which these bounds are
6949 strictly sub-stochastic. Finally, we show how to apply these results to a
6950 classical model of repairable system. A forthcoming paper will present detailed
6951 numerical results and comparison with other methods.},

7113 will "see the dutch book coming" and consequently refuse to bet, thus escaping
7114 the Dutch book. Maher makes this explicit by modeling the decision maker's
7115 choices as a sequential decision problem. On this basis he claims that there is
7116 a mistake in dynamic coherence arguments. There is really no formal mistake in
7117 classical dynamic coherence arguments, but the discussions in Maher and Levi do
7118 suggest interesting ways in which the definition of dynamic coherence might be
7119 strengthened. Such a strengthened "sequentialized" notion of dynamic coherence

7173 against the historical frequency of opponents' play. Regardless of the
7174 opponents' strategies, the utility received by an agent using this rule is
7175 nearly the best that could be achieved against the historical frequency. Such
7176 rules are approximately optimal in i.i.d. environments, and guarantee nearly the
7177 minmax regardless of opponents' behavior. Fictitious play shares these
7178 properties provided it switches ‘infrequently’ between actions. We also study
7179 the long-run outcomes when all players use consistent and cautious rules.},

7260 random variables taking values in the set S. The variation distance between the

7263 is the cardinality of S. If c is infinite, the bound k(k - 1)/n is obtained.
7264 These results imply the most general known forms of de Finetti's theorem.
7265 Examples are given to show that the rates k/n and k(k - 1)/n cannot be improved.
7266 The main tool is a bound on the variation distance between sampling with and
7267 without replacement. For instance, suppose an urn contains n balls, each marked
7268 with some element of the set S, whose cardinality c is finite. Now k draws are
7269 made at random from this urn, either with or without replacement. This generates
7270 two probability distributions on the set of k-tuples, and the variation distance
7271 between them is at most 2 ck/n.},

7333 information about the actual probability distribution. For example, under
7334 Dempster-Shafer uncertainty, we only know the masses m1, ... ,mn assigned to
7335 different sets S1, ... ,Sn, but we do not know the distribution within each set
7336 Si. Because of this uncertainty, there are many possible probability
7337 distributions consistent with our knowledge; different distributions have, in
7338 general, different values of standard statistical characteristics such as mean
7339 and variance. It is therefore desirable, given a Dempster-Shafer knowledge base,
7340 to compute the ranges and of possible values of mean E and of variance V. In
7341 their recent paper, Langewisch and Choobineh show how to compute these ranges in
7342 polynomial time. In particular, they reduce the problem of computing to the
7343 problem of minimizing a convex quadratic function, a problem which can be solved
7344 in time O(n2 [middle dot] log(n)). We show that the corresponding quadratic
7345 optimization problem can be actually solved faster, in time O(n [middle dot]
7346 log(n)); thus, we can compute the bounds V and in time O(n [middle dot]
7347 log(n)).},

7533         abstract = {This paper presents a summary of Peter Walley's theory of
7534 coherent lower previsions. We introduce three representations of coherent
7535 assessments: coherent lower and upper previsions, closed and convex sets of
7536 linear previsions, and sets of desirable gambles. We show also how the notion of
7537 coherence can be used to update our beliefs with new information, and a number
7538 of possibilities to model the notion of independence with coherent lower
7539 previsions. Next, we comment on the connection with other approaches in the
7540 literature: de Finetti's and Williams' earlier work, Kuznetsov's and
7541 Weischelberger's work on interval-valued probabilities, Dempster-Shafer theory
7542 of evidence and Shafer and Vovk's game-theoretic approach. Finally, we present a
7543 brief survey of some applications and summarize the main strengths and
7544 challenges of the theory.},

7936 theory of imprecise probabilities, and argue that possibility measures have an
7937 important part in this theory. It is shown that a possibility measure is a
7938 coherent upper probability if and only if it is normal. 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. We show that possibilistic
7944 extension can be interpreted in terms of natural extension. We also prove that
7945 when either the upper or the lower cumulative distribution function of a random
7946 quantity is specified, possibility measures very naturally emerge as the
7947 corresponding natural extensions. Next, we go from upper probabilities to upper
7948 previsions. We show that if a coherent upper prevision defined on the convex
7949 cone of all non-negative gambles is supremum preserving, then it must take the
7950 form of a Shilkret integral associated with a possibility measure. But at the
7951 same time, we show that such a supremum preserving upper prevision is never
7952 coherent unless it is the vacuous upper prevision with respect to a non-empty

8255 demonstrated to be effective tools in solving large-scale problems. In
8256 particular, an optimization problem in radiation therapy with various orders of
8257 complexity from 1000 to 62,250 constraints for fuzzy and possibilistic linear
8258 and nonlinear programming implementations possessing (1) fuzzy or soft
8259 inequalities, (2) fuzzy right-hand side values, and (3) possibilistic right-hand
8260 side is used to demonstrate that fuzzy and possibilistic optimization methods
8261 are tractable and useful. We focus on the uncertainty in the right side of
8262 constraints which arises, in the context of the radiation therapy problem, from
8263 the fact that minimal and maximal radiation tolerances are ranges of values,
8264 with preferences within the range whose values are based on research results,
8265 empirical findings, and expert knowledge, rather than fixed real numbers. The
8266 results indicate that fuzzy/possibilistic optimization is a natural and
8267 effective way to model various types of optimization under uncertainty problems
8268 and that large fuzzy and possibilistic optimization problems can be solved
8269 efficiently.},

8283         abstract = {Floating-point arithmetic is considered as esoteric subject
8284 by many people. This is rather surprising, because floating-point is ubiquitous
8285 in computer systems: Almost every language has a floating-point datatype;
8286 computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most
8287 compilers will be called upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to
8288 time; and virtually every operating system must respond to floating-point
8289 exceptions such as overflow. This paper presents a tutorial on the aspects of
8290 floating-point that have a direct impact on designers of computer systems. It
8291 begins with background on floating-point representation and rounding error,
8292 continues with a discussion of the IEEE floating point standard, and concludes
8293 with examples of how computer system builders can better support floating
8294 point.},

8578         abstract = {Many practical optimization problems are characterized by
8579 some flexibility in the problem constraints, where this flexibility can be
8580 exploited for additional trade-off between improving the objective function and
8581 satisfying the constraints. Especially in decision making, this type of
8582 flexibility could lead to workable solutions, where the goals and the
8583 constraints specified by different parties involved in the decision making are
8584 traded off against one another and satisfied to various degrees. Fuzzy sets have
8585 proven to be a suitable representation for modeling this type of soft
8586 constraints. Conventionally, the fuzzy optimization problem in such a setting is
8587 defined as the simultaneous satisfaction of the constraints and the goals. No
8588 additional distinction is assumed to exist amongst the constraints and the
8589 goals. This report proposes an extension of this model for satisfying the
8590 problem constraints and the goals, where preference for different constraints
8591 and goals can be specified by the decision-maker. The difference in the
8592 preference for the constraints is represented by a set of associated weight
8593 factors, which influence the nature of trade-off between improving the
8594 optimization objectives and satisfying various constraints. Simultaneous
8595 weighted satisfaction of various criteria is modeled by using the recently
8596 proposed weighted extensions of Archimedean) fuzzy t-norms. The weighted
8597 satisfaction of the problem constraints and goals are demonstrated by using a
8598 simple general, and it can also be applied to fuzzy mathematical programming
8599 problems and multi-objective fuzzy optimization.},

8621 conflicting expert information. We study various ways of combining expert
8622 assessments on different domains, such as natural extension, independent natural
8623 extension and the type-I product, as well as on common domains, such as
8624 conjunction and disjunction. We provide each of these with a clear
8625 interpretation, and we study how they are related. Observing that in combining
8626 expert assessments no information is available about the order in which they
8627 should be combined, we suggest that the final result should be independent of
8628 the order of combination. The rules of combination we study here satisfy this
8629 requirement.},

8766 show that the analyses that are informative comply with simple mathematical
8767 functions. More specifically, we show that a belief network's output can be
8768 expressed as a quotient of two functions that are linear in a conditional

8879 upper and lower probabilities. Also the uncertainty about model choice

8882 partial arbitrariness of additivity both in Bayes' famous Scholium and in modern

8884 probabilities can actually be corrected and find their place in a more general

8931 be assigned to residential or nonresidential treatment in order to prevent
8932 subsequent recidivism. A large data set on past offenders exists, but treatment
8933 assignment was by judges and not by experimenters, hence counterfactual outcomes
8934 are not identified unless one imposes strong assumptions. The analysis is
8935 carried out in two steps. First, I show how to compute identified bounds on
8936 expected outcomes under various assumptions that are too weak to restore
8937 conventional identification but may be accordingly credible. The bounds are
8938 estimated, and confidence regions that take current theoretical developments
8939 into account are computed. I then ask which treatment to assign to future
8940 offenders if the identity of the best treatment will not be learned from the
8941 data. This is a decision problem under ambiguity. I characterize and compute
8942 decision rules that are asymptotically efficient under the minimax regret
8943 criterion. The substantive conclusion is that both bounds and recommended
8944 decisions vary significantly across the assumptions. The data alone do not
8945 permit conclusions or decisions that are globally robust in the sense of holding

9162 trees. Therefore recently it has become state-of-the-art to consider ensembles
9163 (i.e. sets) of trees. The present paper contributes to the so-called TWIX
9164 approach, which produces ensembles by extra splits in additional cutpoints. This
9165 approach can be considered as a compromise between the interpretable but
9166 instable single tree models and the stable but no longer interpretable ensemble
9167 methods bagging and random forests. Based on the idea to study the sensitivity
9168 of a split to some virtual, yet unseen observations, we develop a new, data
9169 driven, cutpoint selection criterion, that technically turns out to be closely
9170 related to an upper entropy approach based on an Imprecise Dirichlet Model. Our
9171 criterion combines several attractive features: By adding extra cutpoints only
9172 iff the underlying cutpoint is instable, the tree is robustified parsimoniously
9173 and the computational expense of the resulting TWIX ensemble is reduced
9174 considerably. As a welcome by-product we moreover obtain a vivid diagnostic
9175 measure for the robustness of a single tree model. The rationale and benefit of
9176 our new adaptive criterion are illustrated by means of a small data example and
9177 a simulation study. Credal classification rules for robust aggregated

9316 assigned to K mutually exclusive possible events when nothing is known about the
9317 likelihood of those events. Fox and Rottenstreich (2003) present evidence that
9318 subjective probability judgments are typically biased towards this ignorance
9319 prior, and therefore depend on the partition K. Results from two studies
9320 indicate that lower-upper (imprecise) probability judgments by naive judges also
9321 exhibit partition dependence, despite the potential that imprecise probabilities
9322 provide for avoiding it. However, beta regression reveals two kinds of priming
9323 effects, one of which is modeled by mixture distributions. Another novel finding
9324 suggests that when partition primes conflict with a normatively correct
9325 partition some judges widen their probability intervals to encompass both
9326 partitions. The results indicate that imprecise probability judgments may be
9327 better suited than precise probabilities for handling conflicting or ambiguous
9328 information about partitions.},

9517         abstract = {Automatic milking systems (AMS) generate alert lists
9518 reporting cows likely to have clinical mastitis (CM). Dutch farmers indicated
9519 that they use non-AMS cow information or the detailed alert information from the
9520 AMS to decide whether to check an alerted cow for CM. However, it is not yet
9521 known to what extent such information can be used to discriminate between
9522 true-positive and false-positive alerts. 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. The effect of adding non-AMS cow
9549 information on making a distinction between true-positive and false-positive
9550 alerts would be minor.},

9699 engineers may compare the results of the model with expert judgment on test
9700 scenarios, then adjust model parameters to bring the behavior of the model more
9701 in line with the experts intuition. This paper presents a methodology for
9702 analytic computation of sensitivity values in Bayesian network models.
9703 Sensitivity values are partial derivatives of output probabilities with respect
9704 to parameters being varied in the sensitivity analysis. They measure the impact
9705 of small changes in a network parameter on a target probability value or
9706 distribution. Sensitivity values can be used to focus knowledge elicitation
9707 effort on those parameters having the most impact on outputs of concern.
9708 Analytic sensitivity values are computed for an example and compared to
9709 sensitivity analysis by direct variation of parameters},

9732 the one which disturbs the current probability distribution the least (with

9916 methods for locating the set of all nondominated solutions of multiple linear
9917 criteria defined over a polyhedron. We first show that the set of all dominated
9918 solutions is convex and that the set of all nondominated solutions is a subset
9919 of the convex hull of the nondominated extreme points. When the domination cone
9920 is polyhedral, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a point to be
9921 nondominated. The condition is stronger than that of Ref. [1] and enables us to
9922 give a simple proof that the set of all nondominated extreme points indeed is
9923 connected. In order to locate the entire set of all nondominated extreme points,
9924 we derive a generalized version of simplex method—multicriteria simplex method.
9925 In addition to some useful results, a necessary and sufficient condition for an
9926 extreme point to be nondominated is derived. Examples and computer experience
9927 are also given. Finally, we focus on how to generate the entire set of all
9928 nondominated solutions through the set of all nondominated extreme points. A
9929 decomposition theorem and some necessary and sufficient conditions for a face to
9930 be nondominated are derived. We then describe a systematic way to identify the
9931 entire set of all nondominated solutions. Through examples, we show that in fact
