A Quantum Bayes Net Approach to Causal Reasoning

When individuals have little knowledge about a causal system and must make causal inferences based on vague and imperfect information, their judgments often deviate from the normative prescription of classical probability. Previously, many researchers have dealt with violations of normative rules by elaborating causal Bayesian networks through the inclusion of hidden variables. While these mode...

Functional Dependency Discovery via Bayes Net Analysis

Functional dependency plays a key role in database normalization, which is a systematic process of verifying database design to ensure the nonexistence of undesirable characteristics. Bad design could incur insertion, update, and deletion anomalies that are the major cause of database inconsistency. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to discover functional dependencies from the databas...

A defense of the causal efficacy of dispositions

A defense of the causal efficacy of dispositions" (2004). Faculty Publications-Department of Philosophy. Paper 32. Disposition terms, such as 'cowardice,' 'fragility' and 'reactivity,' often appear in explanations. Sometimes we explain why a man ran away by saying that he was cowardly, or we explain why something broke by saying it was fragile. Scientific explanations of certain phenomena featu...
