Non-Destructive Sample Generation From Conditional Belief Functions
This work addresses a specific challenge in uncertainty modeling for researchers in belief function theory, but it is incremental as it builds on existing Bayesian network structures.
The paper tackles the problem of generating samples from conditional belief functions by assuming their factorization along a Bayesian network structure, resulting in a method applicable to a restricted but non-trivial subset of such functions.
This paper presents a new approach to generate samples from conditional belief functions for a restricted but non trivial subset of conditional belief functions. It assumes the factorization (decomposition) of a belief function along a bayesian network structure. It applies general conditional belief functions.
