"... Qualitative Probabilistic Networks (QPNs) are an abstraction of Bayesian belief networks replacing numerical relations by qualitative influences and synergies [ Wellman, 1990b ] . To reason in a QPN is to find the effect of new evidence on each node in terms of the sign of the change in belief (incr ..."

"... Characterizations of Decision Analytic Models Restricting reasoning to only the structure of influence diagrams yields models that may be too weak to make many decisions of interest. A few research efforts have explored intermediate levels of representation that give more than simply structure but ..."

but demand less than full numbers. Wellman [38] defines qualitative influences among random variables in terms of stochastic dominance of their distribution functions, and defines a qualitative version of synergy and anti-synergy among joint influences on a variable. Because these definitions capture only
