Determining whether a Belief Net is Consistent with Auxiliary Information

Full Text: determining-whether-a-belief.pdf PDF

A belief net (BN), whether produced by interviewing domain expert(s) or learned from a body of data, can be incorrect. This report presents two tools for evaluating a given BN, by determining whether that network is statistically consistent with a body of accurate auxiliary information, IA. It also suggests how this information can be used to improve the BN.
