Bayes Linear Calibrated Prediction for Complex Systems (2006)
Journal Article
Goldstein, M., & Rougier, J. (2006). Bayes Linear Calibrated Prediction for Complex Systems. Journal of the American Statistical Association, 101(475), 1132-1143. https://doi.org/10.1198/016214506000000203

A calibration-based approach is developed for predicting the behavior of a physical system that is modeled by a computer simulator. The approach is based on Bayes linear adjustment using both system observations and evaluations of the simulator at pa... Read More about Bayes Linear Calibrated Prediction for Complex Systems.

Trade-off sensitive experimental design: a multicriterion, decision theoretic, Bayes linear approach (2006)
Journal Article
Farrow, M., & Goldstein, M. (2006). Trade-off sensitive experimental design: a multicriterion, decision theoretic, Bayes linear approach. Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 136(2), 498-526. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jspi.2004.07.008

We show how mutually utility independent hierarchies, which weigh the various costs of an experiment against benefits expressed through a mixed Bayes linear utility representing the potential gains in knowledge from the experiment, provide a flexible...

Bayes linear kinematics and Bayes linear Bayes Graphical Models (2004)
Journal Article
Goldstein, M., & Shaw, S. (2004). Bayes linear kinematics and Bayes linear Bayes Graphical Models. Biometrika, 91(2), 425-446. https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/91.2.425

Probability kinematics (Jeffrey, 1965, 1983) furnishes a method for revising a prior probability specification based upon new probabilities over a partition.We develop a corresponding Bayes linear kinematic for a Bayes linear analysis given informati...

Moral dominance relations for program comprehension (2003)
Journal Article
Shaw, S., Goldstein, M., Munro, M., & Burd, E. (2003). Moral dominance relations for program comprehension. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 29(9), 851-863. https://doi.org/10.1109/tse.2003.1232289

Dominance trees have been used as a means for reengineering legacy systems into potential reuse candidates. The dominance relation suggests the reuse candidates which are identified by strongly directly dominated subtrees. We review the approach and...

Bayesian Graphical Models for Software Testing (2002)
Journal Article
Wooff, D., Goldstein, M., & Coolen, F. (2002). Bayesian Graphical Models for Software Testing. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 28(5), 510-525. https://doi.org/10.1109/tse.2002.1000453

This paper describes a new approach to the problem of software testing. The approach is based on Bayesian graphical models and presents formal mechanisms for the logical structuring of the software testing problem, the probabilistic and statistical t...

Generalized partition testing via Bayes linear methods (2001)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., Goldstein, M., & Munro, M. (2001). Generalized partition testing via Bayes linear methods. Information and Software Technology, 43(13), 783-793. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2801%2900185-9

This paper explores the use of Bayes linear methods related to partition testing for software. If a partition of the input domain has been defined, the method works without the assumption of homogeneous (revealing) subdomains, and also includes the p...
