Exponential models of distributions are widely used in machine learning for classification and modelling. It is well known that they can be interpreted as maximum entropy models u...
Previous work on sensitivity analysis in Bayesian networks has focused on single parameters, where the goal is to understand the sensitivity of queries to single parameter changes...
Parameters of statistical distributions that are input to simulations are typically not known with certainty. For existing systems, or variations on existing systems, they are oft...
