It is shown how one can introduce imprecision into such probabilities as a data base of cases accumulates. By exploiting the graphical structure, the updating can be performed locally, either approximately or exactly, and the setup makes it possible to take advantage of a range of well‐established statistical techniques. As examples we discuss discrete models, models based on Dirichlet distributions and models of the logistic regression type.Read More
