HUGIN GUI Discussion / Entering different evidence
« on: August 14, 2023, 23:34:40  »
Hi,

I have a set of data that represents information on dams (see attached txt). I am interested in modelling how the dam `Status_ID` and `Raise_ID` affect probabilities of failure, and the type of failure mode (`FM`) if it does fail.  I use the EM learning algorithm to add experience data from the csv to all the nodes (see attached network). 

I want to incorporate the fact that I know I have an unbalanced dataset (failures are overrepresented) and that a true overall failure rate (for all types of `Status_ID`, `Raise_ID` and `FM`) is 2E-4.  How do I best incorporate this knowledge in this network? I've tried 1) entering it as a likelihood in 'Run' mode or 2) entering it as a prior before adding experience data. 

This is an example of how I would use Bayes equation by hand:
P(Failure=Yes | Status_ID="Active" & Raise_ID="Upstream") = P(Status_ID="Active" & Raise_ID="Upstream" | Failure="Yes")*P(Failure="Yes") / P(Status_ID="Active" & Raise_ID="Upstream")
where P(Failure="Yes") = 2E-4,  and other probabilities come from the data

Appreciate any help!

Thanks

General Discussion / Parameter Selection and Cross-Validation
« on: August 01, 2023, 22:31:51  »
Hello,

Are there any tutorials or examples that outline a process for performing parameter selection for a Bayesian Network? (i.e. test different subsets of potential input variables and find the subset that gives the best model performance evaluated using something like k-fold cross validation, for example).
