2 Remember: Rules of Probability Regra de Bayes (1763): P(Oil\Favourable) = P(Favourable\Oil).P(Oil) P(Favourable) Product rule : P(Favourable, Oil) = P(Favourable\Oil).P(Oil) = P(Oil\Favourable).P(Favourable) ( ) Marginalisation : P(Favourable) = P(Favourable\Oil).P(Oil) + P(Favourable\Dry).P(Dry) P(Favourable\Oil).P(Oil) P(Oil\Favourable) = P(Favourable\Oil).P(Oil)+P(Favourable\Dry).P(Dry) 3 The cornerstone of Bayesian probability theory is the inversion formula: P(H\E) = P(E\H).P(H) P(E) where P(H\E) denotes the probability of hypothesis H conditioned on the evidence E. Bayes rule provides an explicit relation for the degree of believe we accord a hypothesis H, in light of evidence E. Bayes Rule is useful in contexts where probabilities are more easily obtained in one inferential direction than another. 4 2

3 By providing the flexibility to reason probabilistically in either the causal or the diagnostic directions, Bayes Rule allows agents to assert beliefs in forms that are compatible with the way they actually reason about the process(es) or phenomena of interest. A bayesian network A particular type of Influence Diagram. It contains only chance (and deterministic) nodes. 5 Holmes & Watson example Police Inspector Smith is impatiently waiting the arrival of Mr Holmes and Dr Watson; they are late and Inspector Smith has another important appointment (lunch). Looking out of the window he wonders whether the roads are icy. Both are notoriously bad drivers, so if the roads are icy they may crash His secretary enters and tells him that Dr Watson has had a car accident, Watson? OK. It could be worse icy roads! Then Holmes has most probably crashed too. I ll go for lunch now. Icy roads?, the secretary replies, It is far from being that cold, and furthermore all the roads are salted. Inspector Smith is relieved. Bad luck for Watson. Let us give Holmes ten minutes more. 6 3

8 Bayesian (or Belief, or Probabilistic Causal) Networks Visit To Asia Sm ok i ng Tuberculosis Lung Cancer Bronchitis XRay Result Tuberculosis or Cancer Dyspnea Chest Clinic A BN is composed of a set of nodes representing variables of interest, connected by links to indicate dependencies, and containing information about the relationships between the nodes (often in the form of conditional probabilities). Its uses include prediction and diagnosis. A BN provides a complete probabilistic description of a particular system, i.e., completely specifies a joint probability distribution on the kinds of distinctions represented by the network. Remember: Conditional P(X = x \ Y = y) Probability that X=x given we know that Y=y. Joint P(x, y) P(X = x ^Y = y) Probability that both X = x and Y = y. 15 (FORMAL) DEFINITION OF A BN (Jansen, 1996) Visit To Asia Sm ok i ng A BN consists of the following: Tuberculosis Lung Cancer Bronchitis A set of variables and a set of directed edges between variables. Tuberculosis or Cancer Each variable has a finite set of Chest Clinic i states. XRay Result Dyspnea The variables together with the directed edges form a directed acyclic graph. To each variable A with parents B 1,, B n there is attached a conditional probability table P(A \ B 1,, B n ). Visit To Asia Visit 1.0 No Visit 99.0 Sm ok i ng Sm ok er 50.0 NonSmoker 50.0 Tuberculosis Pr esent 1.04 Absent 99.0 Lung Cancer Pr esent 5.50 Absent 94.5 Bronchitis Pr esent 45.0 Absent 55.0 A bnormal Normal XRay Result T uberculosis or Cancer True False Dyspnea Pr esent 43.6 Absent 56.4 Chest Clinic 16 8

9 Chest Clinic Copyright 1998 Norsys Software Corp. This belief network is also known as "Asia. It is a toy medical diagnosis example from: Lauritzen, Steffen L. and David J. Spiegelhalter (1988), Local computations with probabilities on graphical structures and their application to expert systems, J. Royal Statistics Society B, 50(2), It is a simplified version of a network that could be used to diagnose patients arriving at a clinic. Each node in the network corresponds to some condition of the patient, for example, "Visit to Asia" indicates whether the patient recently visited Asia. To diagnose a patient, values are entered for nodes when they are known. Netica then automatically re-calculates the probabilities for all the other nodes, based on the relationships between them. The links between the nodes indicate how the relationships between the nodes are structured. 18 9

10 The two top nodes are for predispositions which influence the likelihood of the diseases. Those diseases appear in the row below them. At the bottom are symptoms of the diseases. To a large degree, the links of the network correspond to causation. This is a common structure for diagnostic networks: predisposition nodes at the top, with links to nodes representing internal conditions and failure states, which in turn have links to nodes for observables. Often there are many layers of nodes representing internal conditions, with links between them representing their complex inter-relationships. 19 Probabilistic relation of "Lung Cancer with Smoking Functional dependence of "Tuberculosis or Cancer on Tuberculosis and Lung Cancer

11 Probabilities of each state of fthe node Bronchitis Suppose we want to "diagnose" a new patient. When she first enters the clinic, without having any information about her, we believe she has lung cancer with a probability of 5.5% (the number may be higher than that for the general population, because something has led her to the chest clinic). 21 Finding - She has an abnormal x-ray All the probability numbers and bars changed to take into account the finding. Now the probability that she has lung cancer has increased from 5.5% to 48.9%

12 New Finding: She has made a visit to Asia recently Visit No Visit Visit To Asia The probability of lung cancer decreases from 48.9% to to 37.1%, because the abnormal XRay is partially explained away by a greater chance of Tuberculosis (which she could catch in Asia) Sm ok er NonSmoker Sm ok i ng Pr esent Absent Tuberculosis Pr esent Absent Lung Cancer Pr esent Absent Bronchitis Tuberculosis or Cancer True False Chest Clinic Abnormal Normal XRay Result Pr esent Absent Dyspnea A new patient has just walked in: remove all the findings 24 12

14 Evidence on A (or G) will influence the certainty of S. Similarly, evidence on C will influence the certainty on A (and G) through S. However, if the state of S is known, then A (G) and C become independent. We say that A (G) and C are d-separated given S. Serial connection. If S is instantiated (i.e., its state is known) it blocks communication between its parents and children 27 When nothing is known about the state of Cancer: However, when we know the state of Cancer: Diverging connection. If C is instantiated, it blocks communication between its children 28 14

15 29 When nothing is known about the state of Cancer: However, when we have information about Cancer: Converging connection. If C is instantiated, it opens communication between its parents 30 15

20 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? The construction of the new station at Terreiro do Paço is included in the expansion plan of the Lisbon Metro network In 1997, the Lisbon Metro Company launched an international call for tenders for the construction of the new station. Five bids were introduced by four bidders 2 COSTS TOTAL COST Initial value tree COST CREDIBILITY DEADLINES PROPOSED DEADLINES DEADLINES CREDIBILITY TECHNICAL WORTH AND FEASIBILITY QUALITY RESTRICTIONS LAID DOWN BY THE BIDDER ENVIRONMENTAL DISRUPTIONS AND IMPACT ESTABLISHED UNDERTAKINGS Question: If two bids turn out to be indifferent in all the criteria above, is there any reason to consider one bid better than the other? Answer: Yes, if we knew that the estimated costs and completion times proposed by one bidder were more credible than those proposed by other bidder. 20

22 Credibility of completion time: Simulation procedure 1. A random number that corresponds to the duration of each activity is generated according to a log-normal probability distribution. 2. The minimum total duration is calculated based on the generated durations d i of the activities and on the established precedence relations between them. 3. The process is repeated N times (sufficient number of times in order to guarantee desired confidence level). 4. The credibility p associated with the proposed total duration is equal to the relative frequency after N simulations. requency Fr Frequency Histogram and Cumulative Frequency curve for Completion time % % % % % 00% % % Classes umulative requency Cu Fr Percentile 10% Evolution of 10% percentile for Completion time Nº of Simulations 10 % percentile = weeks 22
