These methods are developed to directly address problems in health care through two subfields of statistics: probabilistic machine learning and causal inference. These projects include improving predictions of
pgmpy is a Python package for working with Bayesian Networks and related models such as Directed Acyclic Graphs, Dynamic Bayesian Networks, and Structural Equation Models. It combines features from causal inference and probabilistic inference literature to allow users to seamlessly work between them. It...
on subsequent variables, mediated by the causal rules), and backward explanation (the effect of evidence on prior variables, again mediated by the rules). Using standard algorithms can be computationally expensive, however, andSection 10.5discusses various methods for performing the inference efficiently...
The focus of the group will be on probabilistic graphical models and causal inference. The thesis project may develop in different directions depending on the inclination of the candidate. One option is to focus on computational methods for structure learning of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), e....

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in clinical applications through prompt engineering, allowing flexible clinical predictions. However, they struggle to produce reliable prediction probabilities, which are crucial for transparency and decis
A network model is adopted as a basic scheme to arrange entities (node labels) and relations (arc labels). As an example, let us consider the simple net in Figure 7.1. The causal variable H is associated to a set of hypotheses (labels, decisions); E is associated to a set of ...
More specifically, Kelley proposed that causal inferences are based on a statistical interpretation of the covariation principle as instantiated in thedoi:10.1037/0022-3514.58.4.545Cheng, Patricia WNovick, Laura RJournal of Personality and Social Psychology...
and provides a numerical estimate of that prediction. In sociology, it is particularly important for sampling procedures and statistical inference. See alsoEXPLANATION.A probability sampleis another name for aRANDOM SAMPLE, i.e. a sample selected in such a way that all units in the population ...
Probabilistic machine learning can accelerate image generation1,2, heuristic optimization3,4, and probabilistic inference5,6 by leveraging stochasticity to encode uncertainty and enable statistical modeling7,8. These approaches are well suited for real-life applications which must account for uncertainty an...
