Bayesian Goal Programming/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Goal Programming

Bayesian Goal Programming (BGP) integrates Bayesian statistical inference with classic goal programming to handle uncertainty in targets and parameters. Instead of treating goal thresholds as fixed constants, BGP encodes them as probability distributions, updates beliefs using observed data, and then solves the resulting probabilistic optimization problem to find solutions that satisfy multiple aspirational goals under uncertainty.
