基本説明
For the first time the common, abstract and unifying algebraic structure underlying different inference algorithms as used in Bayesian networks, possibility theory, Dempster-Shafer theory, logic, linear systems (sparse matrices) is presented in book form.
Full Description
Considering combination and focusing of information as the relevant operations leads to a generic algebraic structure for information. Information algebras provide a natural framework to define and study uncertain information. Uncertain information is represented by random variables that naturally form information algebras.
