A note on Kirkwood's algebraic method for decision problems

Article Abstract:

Kirkwood's algebraic method for representing and solving large decision problems is evaluated. It is argued that the method fails to recognize coalescence while the large number of variables in a problem makes solution difficult. A modification to Kirkwood's method is proposed involving the algebraic representation of a valuation network which allows probability to be represented without preprocessing.
