Log-likelihood analysis

Since version 7.23

Log-likelihood analysis evaluates the effect of different subsets of evidence on the Log-likelihood.

NOTE

Log-likelihood values are often used for Anomaly detection.

Log-likelihood analysis can be used to:

Log-likelihood analysis

Support

Variable type Evidence
Discrete Yes
Continuous Yes
Hybrid Yes
NOTE

We use the term None to refer to the case when none of the evidence (being analyzed) is included. We use the term All to refer to the case when all of the evidence (being analyzed) is included.

Subsets

The subsets to consider are generated by looking at all possible combinations of evidence, subject to the following constraints.

Max evidence subset size

The number of items of evidence in each subset.

Subset method

When Subset method is set to Include, evidence on variables in the subset is included, but not other evidence variables (being analyzed).

When Subset method is set to Exclude, all evidence is used, except for those in the subset.
