Causes and Explanations: A Structural-Model Approach - Part II: Explanations
∗Supported in part by NSF under grants IRI-96-25901 and 0090145. †Supported in part by grants from NSF, ONR, AFOSR, and MICRO. We propose new definitions of (causal) explanation, using structural equations to model counterfactuals. The definition is based on the notion of actual cause, as defined and motivated in a companion paper. Essentially, an explanation is a fact that is not known for cer...
متن کاملCauses and Explanations: A Structural-Model Approach
We propose new definitions of actual causes and explanations, using structural equations to model counterfactuals. We show that these definitions yield a plausible and elegant account of causation and explanation that handles well examples which have caused problems for other definitions and resolves major difficulties in the traditional account. Supported in part by NSF under grant IRI-96-2590...

متن کاملComplexity Results for Explanations in the Structural-model Approach Complexity Results for Explanations in the Structural-model Approach
We analyze the computational complexity of Halpern and Pearl’s (causal) explanations in the structural-model approach, which are based on their notions of weak and actual causality. In particular, we give a precise picture of the complexity of deciding explanations, -partial explanations, and partial explanations, and of computing the explanatory power of partial explanations. Moreover, we anal...
