On the Robustness of Most Probable Explanations
Hei Chan, Adnan Darwiche
Abstract:
In Bayesian networks, a Most Probable Explanation (MPE) is a complete variable instantiation with a highest probability given the current evidence. In this paper, we discuss the problem of finding robustness conditions of the MPE under single parameter changes. Specifically, we ask the question: How much change in a single network parameter can we afford to apply while keeping the MPE unchanged? We will describe a procedure, which is the first of its kind, that computes this answer for each parameter in the Bayesian network variable in time O(n exp(w)), where n is the number of network variables and w is its treewidth.
