Motivated by its connection to the limit behaviour of imprecise Markov chains, we introduce and study so-called convergence upper transition operators: condition that for any function, orbit resulting from iterated application this operator converges. In contrast, existing notion `ergodicity' requires a constant. We derive very general (and practically verifiable) sufficient in terms accessibility lower reachability, prove is also necessary whenever (i) all transient states are absorbed or...
We provide a decision-theoretic framework for dealing with uncertainty in quantum mechanics. This is two-fold: on the one hand there may be about state system in, and other hand, as essential to mechanical uncertainty, even if known, measurements still produce an uncertain outcome. In our framework, therefore play role of acts outcome simple postulates ensure that Born's rule encapsulated utility functions associated such acts. approach allows us uncouple (precise) probability theory from...
Supervised hyperspectral image (HSI) classification relies on accurate label information. However, it is not always possible to collect perfectly labels for training samples. This motivates the development of classifiers that are sufficiently robust some reasonable amounts errors in data labels. Despite growing importance this aspect, has been studied literature yet. In paper, we analyze effect erroneous sample probability distributions principal components HSIs, and provide way a...
We present an efficient exact algorithm for estimating state sequences from outputs or observations in imprecise hidden Markov models (iHMMs). The uncertainty linking one to the next, and that a its output, is represented by set of probability mass functions instead single such function. consider as best estimates maximal posterior joint model conditioned on observed output sequence, associated with gain function indicator sequence. This corresponds generalises finding sequence highest...
The possibility of flexibly assigning spectrum resources with channels different sizes greatly improves the spectral efficiency optical networks, but can also lead to unwanted fragmentation. We study this problem in a scenario where traffic demands are categorized two types (low or high bit-rate) by assessing performance three allocation policies. Our first contribution consists exact Markov chain models for these policies, which allow us numerically compute relevant measures. However, do...
Coherent reasoning under uncertainty can be represented in a very general manner by coherent sets of desirable gambles. In context that does not allow for indecision, this leads to an approach is mathematically equivalent working with conditional probabilities. If we do more foundation (imprecise-)probabilistic inference. framework, and given finite category set, predictive inference exchangeability using Bernstein cones multivariate polynomials on the simplex generated set. This powerful...
Imprecise continuous-time Markov chains are a robust type of that allow for partially specified time-dependent parameters. Computing inferences them requires the solution non-linear differential equation. As there is no general analytical expression this solution, efficient numerical approximation methods essential to applicability model. We here improve uniform method Krak et al. (2016) in two ways and propose novel more adaptive method. For ergodic chains, we also provide allows us...
