▼a A prominent formalism used in decision support is decision theory, which relies on probability theory to model uncertainty about unknown information. A decision support system relying on decision theory produces conditional probability as a response. The quality of a decision support system's response depends on three key factors: the amount of data available to train the model, the amount of information about the case at hand, and the adequacy of the system's model to the case at hand.In this dissertation, I investigate different approaches to measuring the confidence of decision support systems based on Bayesian networks, addressing the three key factors mentioned above. Some of such confidence measures of the system response have been already proposed. I propose and discuss other measures based on analysis of joint probability distribution encoded by a Bayesian network. The main contribution of this dissertation is the analysis of the discussed measures whether they provide useful information about the performance of a Bayesian network model. I start the analysis with an investigation of interactions among these measures. Then, I investigate whether confidence measures help us predict an erroneous response of a classifier based on Bayesian networks when applied to a particular case. The results suggest that the discussed measures may be considered as indicators for possible mistakes in classification. Further, I conduct an experiment to check how confidence measures perform in combining the models' output in the ensemble of classifiers by weighting. Based on the findings, I conclude that the confidence measures may enrich the decision support system's output to serve as indicators for applicability of the model and its advice to a given case. |
