Abstract:

Aiming at the Bayesian network parameter learning problem under the condition of the small sample set, a Bayesian network parameter learning method combining expert prior knowledge and monotonic constraints is proposed. This method integrates the expert priori knowledge into the process of parameter learning of Bayesian network with monotonic constraints in the form of normal distribution and further improves the accuracy and stability of parameter learning of Bayesian network under the condition of the small sample set. Simulation experiments are conducted under the condition of small sample sets, and the results show that compared with the other three main methods, the average Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is significantly reduced, and the running time is higher than the other three methods. Considering the learning accuracy and running time comprehensively, this method is superior to the other three methods mentioned above. The method is applied to the gas turbine health condition evaluation, and the result is consistent with the actual condition, which verifies the effectiveness of the method.

Key words: Bayesian network, parametric learning, small sample set, monotonic constraint, normal distribution
