Title
Graphical Explanation in Bayesian Networks
Abstract
Bayesian networks have proved to be an appropriate tool for medical diagnosis, because uncertain reasoning in this field is based on a combination of causal knowledge and statistical data. However, a condition for the acceptance of a medical expert system is the ability to explain the diagnosis. This is a difficult task, because probabilistic inference seems to have little relation with human thinking. The current paper focuses on the graphic interface that constitutes one of the explanation capabilities of Elvira, a software tool for the edition and evaluation of graphical probabilistic models. The method we describe consists in working with different evidence cases and simultaneously displaying the corresponding probabilities.
