Abstract

This talk will review the basic notions of imprecise probability following Walley's theory [1] and its application to graphical models which usually have considered precise Bayesian probabilities [2]. First approaches to imprecision were robustness studies: analysis of the sensibility of the outputs to variations of network parameters [3,4]. However, we will show that the role of imprecise probability in graphical models can be more important, providing alternative methodologies for learning and inference.
