Large Deviation Methods for Approximate Probabilistic Inference
We study two-layer belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr childjparents depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. In larg...

Probabilistic Partial Evaluation: Exploiting Rule Structure in Probabilistic Inference
Bayesian belief networks have grown to prominence because they provide compact representations of many domains, and there are algorithms to exploit this compactness. The next step...

Optimal Quadratic-Form Estimator of the Variance of the Sample Mean
A classical problem of stochastic simulation is how to estimate the variance of the sample mean of dependent but stationary outputs. Many variance estimators, such as the batch me...

A New Look at Causal Independence
Heckerman (1993) defined causal independence in terms of a set of temporal conditional independence statements. These statements formalized certain types of causal interaction whe...

Partial Evaluation in Prolog: Some Improvements about Cut
Two main aspects of Partial Evaluation for Prolog programs are considered: treatment of cuts and control of recursion. The analysis about cut is exhaustive: we consider occurrence...
