A Fusion Algorithm for Solving Bayesian Decision Problems

Artificial Intelligence 2013-03-26 v1

Abstract

This paper proposes a new method for solving Bayesian decision problems. The method consists of representing a Bayesian decision problem as a valuation-based system and applying a fusion algorithm for solving it. The fusion algorithm is a hybrid of local computational methods for computation of marginals of joint probability distributions and the local computational methods for discrete optimization problems.
