The Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM) use a representation based on graphs to encode complex distributions in high dimensional spaces compactly. One type of PGM are the Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBN) characterized for being a stationary and homogeneous system, allowing to represent huge amount of information of multiple variables in a compact way.In this paper the prediction capacity of the DBN on the evolution of the Black Sigatoka and the crops productivity, using the data from CORBANA is studied. This data contains historical information of the weather and of two phenomena: the evolution of the Black Sigatoka and the productivity of the crops. The prediction capacity of the DBN was compare with the Bayesian Networks (BN).A DBN and a BN were design and implemented representing the variables found on the data and their relations. Using them different experiments were done to determine the influence of the factors on their capacity of prediction. The obtained results on the experiments showed that the prediction capacity of the DBNs is not better that the prediction capacity of the BN using the data from CORBANA. In fact, there was not a significant difference when the network was changed. Although the DBN presented several theoretical advantages in comparison with other PGMs, in practice they were not observed. This happened because of the limitations of the available implementation of framework for using PGMs, making the DBNs not as attractive. |
