Interpretation of and reasoning with conditionals : probabilities, mental models, and causality
… investigates what meaning an everyday conditional transmits and what inferences it licenses. It is suggested that the nature of the relation between the two propositions in a conditional might play a major role for both questions. Thus, in the experiments reported here conditional …

A pragmatic Bayesian approach to wind field retrieval
… the problem. The likelihood is a combination of conditional probability distributions for the local wind vectors given the scatterometer data. The prior distribution is a vector Gaussian process that provides the geophysical consistency for the wind field. The wind vectors are retrieved directly …

Neighborhood analysis methods in acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition
… methods for performing multi-class class-conditional probability estimation. The methods developed are applied to the problem of acoustic modeling for speech recognition. Neighborhood components analysis (NCA) (Goldberger et al. [2005]) serves as the departure point for this study. NCA is …

Parametric modeling of dependence of bivariate quantile regression residuals' signs
… of the quantiles of a multivariate response conditional on a set of covariates. We define a statistic that measures the conditional probability of concordance of the signs of the residuals of the conditional quantiles of each univariate response. The probability of concordance is bounded from …

Seismic Performance and Damage Risk of Modular CLT Housing Using Nonlinear Time History Analysis
… fragility curves across the U.S., (ii) the conditional probability of collapse under Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) intensities, and (iii) the unconditional probabilities of experiencing non-structural damage and collapse within 50 years for ten representative locations. The houses use …

Efficient Bayesian Network Inference: Genetic Algorithms, Stochastic Local Search, and Abstraction
… networks. We describe how connectivity, value of conditional probability tables as well as the degree of regularity of the underlying graph affect the speed of inference for Hugin and Stochastic Greedy Search.

Applied Bayesian Networks
… model that can be used to maintain and propagate conditional probability tables among its nodes. Here, we use a Bayesian Network to model results from a numerical riverine model. We develop an discretization optimization algorithm that improves efficiency and concurrently increases the overall …

Integrating genomic conservation data with motif discovery
… several yeast species. Our approach computes the conditional probability of inter-species sequences, and uses this probability measure to maximize the likelihood of the data from different species with a motif model.

A production simulation tool for systems with integrated photovoltaic energy sources.
… From these class sets, we approximate the conditional probability distributions of the PV output random variables conditioned on each pattern class. We extend the conventional probabilistic simulation framework to incorporate the PV resources by using these approximations of the conditional …

A Probabilistic Approach To Multiple-Instance Learning
… algorithm, named instance-vote, assumes that the probability of a bag being positive or negative depends upon the percentage of its instances being positive or negative. This probability is estimated using a k-nn classication of instances. In the second approach, embedded kernel density estimation …

Essays on exchange rate dynamics and currency crises in Asia
… in the transitional probabilities improves the conditional probability of a crisis in Indonesia. In the third chapter, the dynamics of Indonesia's exchange rate are examined using different theoretical and empirical models. In particular, in-sample and out-of-sample forecasts are shown for VAR, …

Designing hypothesis tests for digital image matching
… with the image pair as unit of observation and probability of error in the match/mismatch decision as performance criterion. A stochastic model is proposed for the image pair, and the optimal test of match and mismatch hypotheses for samples of this random process is derived. The test is written …

A Stochastic Approach to Modeling Aviation Security Problems Using the KNAPSACK Problem
… this objective requires knowledge of the joint conditional probability density functions for the security device responses. Two sampling procedures, the static grid estimation procedure and the dynamic grid estimation procedure, are proposed to estimate these functions. The concept of a system …

Schematic Effects on Probability Problem Solving
Three studies examined context effects on solving probability problems. Variants of word problems were written with cover stories which differed with respect to social or temporal schemas, while maintaining formal problem structure and solution procedure. In the first of these studies it was shown …
