Advantages and challenges of Bayesian networks in environmental modelling

Forskningsoutput: Tidskriftsbidrag › Artikel › Vetenskaplig › Peer review

Sammanfattning

Bayesian networks (BNs) are an increasingly popular method of modelling uncertain and complex domains such as ecosystems and environmental management. At best, they provide a robust and mathematically coherent framework for the analysis of this kind of problems. However, there are certain pitfalls as well. In this paper, I summarise the pros and cons of the use of Bayesian networks especially in the context of environmental modelling and management. I will also give references to relevant publications, and introduce some software products that can be used to build Bayesian networks.
