 Graphical Models   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Probabilistic graphical models are graphs in which nodes represent random variables, and the (lack of) arcs represent conditional independence assumptions.
Indeed, it is common to use frequentists methods to estimate the parameters of the CPDs.
Classical control theory is mostly concerned with the special case where the graphical model is a Linear Dynamical System and the utility function is negative quadratic loss, e.g., consider a missile tracking an airplane: its goal is to minimize the squared distance between itself and the target.

 Amazon.fr : Graphical Models: Methods for Data Analysis and Mining: Livres en anglais: Christian Borgelt,Rudolf Kruse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This book provides a self-contained introduction to the learning of graphical models from data, and is the first to include detailed coverage of possibilistic networks - a relatively new reasoning tool that allows the user to infer results from problems with imprecise data.
The methods described here are applied in a number of industries, including a recent quality testing programme at a major car manufacturer.
Since this book is about graphical models and reasoning with them, we start by saying a few words about reasoning in general, with a focus on inferences under imprecision and uncertainty and the calculi to model these (cf.

 gorilla: Product: 'Graphical Methods for the Design of Experiments'
Graphical Methods for Experimental Design presents a strategic view of the planning of experiments, and provides a number of graphical tools that are useful for justifying the effort required for experimentation, identifying variables and candidate statistical models, selecting the set of run conditions and for assessing the quality of the design.
In addition, the graphical framework for creating fractional factorial designs is used to present experimental results in a way that is easier to understand than a set of model coefficients.
Many of the graphical techniques are accessible without any knowledge of statistical models however, requiring only some familiarity with the plotting of functions and with the concept of projection from elementary mechanical drawing.

 Representations & Methods   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Graphical methods usually involve a certain amount of trial and error, and they may leave some doubt as to whether we have looked closely enough at all of the right parts of the graph.
Numerical methods are algorithmic, in the sense that they provide a definite sequence of steps to follow, and they are usually iterative, which means that a few relatively simple steps are repeated over and over again to obtain the successively better estimates.
Like graphical methods, numerical methods involve a certain amount of trial and error; but the "trials" of numerical methods are carefully controlled, and the errors are then systematically reduced.

 4.4.4. How can I tell if a model fits my data?
Graphical methods have an advantage over numerical methods for model validation because they readily illustrate a broad range of complex aspects of the relationship between the model and the data.
Numerical methods for model validation tend to be narrowly focused on a particular aspect of the relationship between the model and the data and often try to compress that information into a single descriptive number or test result.
One common situation when numerical validation methods take precedence over graphical methods is when the number of parameters being estimated is relatively close to the size of the data set.

 Amazon.fr : Learning in Graphical Models: Livres en anglais: Michael Irwin Jordan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Graphical models, a marriage between probability theory and graph theory, provide a natural tool for dealing with two problems that occur throughout applied mathematics and engineering--uncertainty and complexity.
Fundamental to the idea of a graphical model is the notion of modularity: a complex system is built by combining simpler parts.
Probability theory serves as the glue whereby the parts are combined, ensuring that the system as a whole is consistent and providing ways to interface models to data.

 Graphical plots for investigating heterogeneity in meta-analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
As compared with other graphical methods, the L'Abbe plot is useful to identify not only the studies having different results from other studies, but also the study arms that are responsible for such differences.
A method is suggested to standardize the distance between study points and the overall RR line in a L'Abbe plot before making comparisons for investigating clinical and/or methodological heterogeneity.
It is concluded that if they are used appropriately, the graphical plots are very useful in determining the focus of heterogeneity investigation in a meta-analysis.

 Graphical methods I: Slug wars
Graphical methods can be useful for mathematicians to get to grips with a complex problem: they can provide strikingly simple ways of depicting complex behaviour, and are also capable of representing complex and copious data in a straightforward way.
Graphical representation of data or behaviour allows for rapid assimilation of the "big picture" and enables one to employ geometric intuition which can lead to physical deductions.
There are obvious limitation to the use of graphical methods (for example, they work best when there are only a few variables to consider, and drawing graphs in more than three dimensions can be awkward), but their widespread use in problems of physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, and more proves their utility.

 NRCCS - Estimation from nonrandomized treatment comparisons using subclassification on propensity scores
Standard methods of analysis using routine statistical software (e.g., linear or logistic regressions), however, can be quite deceptive for these objectives because they provide no warnings about their propriety.
The basic idea of propensity score methods is to replace the collection of confounding covariates in the observational study with one function of these covariates, called the propensity score (i.e., the propensity to receive treatment 1 rather than treatment 2), and then to use this score just as if it were the only confounding covariate.
One critical advantage of propensity score methods is that they can warn the investigator that, because of inadequately overlapping covariate distributions, a particular data base cannot address the causal question at hand without either (a) relying on untrustworthy model-dependent extrapolations, or (b) restricting attention to the type of subject adequately represented in both treatment groups.
