Qualitative and Topological Relationships
In this paper, we present a spatial logic which can be used to reason about topological and spatial relationships among objects in spatial databases. The main advantages of such a formalism are its rigor-ousness, clear semantics and sound inference mechanism. We also show how the formalism can be extended to include orientation and metrical information. Comparisons with other formalisms are dis...
متن کاملStable Causal Relationships are Better Causal Relationships
We report two experiments investigating whether people’s judgments about causal relationships are sensitive to the robustness or stability of such relationships across a wide range of background circumstances. We demonstrate that people prefer stable causal relationships even when overall causal strength is held constant, and we show that this effect is unlikely to be driven by a causal general...
متن کاملDecisive Data Sets in Phylogenomics: Lessons from Studies on the Phylogenetic Relationships of Primarily Wingless Insects
Phylogenetic relationships of the primarily wingless insects are still considered unresolved. Even the most comprehensive phylogenomic studies that addressed this question did not yield congruent results. To get a grip on these problems, we here analyzed the sources of incongruence in these phylogenomic studies by using an extended transcriptome data set. Our analyses showed that unevenly distr...
متن کاملUsing Qualitative Relationships for Bounding Probability Distributions
We exploit qualitative probabilistic relationships among variables for computing bounds of con ditional probability distributions of interest in Bayesian networks. Using the signs of qualita tive relationships, we can implement abstraction operations that are guaranteed to bound the dis tributions of interest in the desired direction. By evaluating incrementally improved approximate networks...
متن کاملAnalysing Decisive Stochastic Processes
In 2007, Abdulla et al. introduced the elegant concept of decisive Markov chain. Intuitively, decisiveness allows one to lift the good properties of finite Markov chains to infinite Markov chains. For instance, the approximate quantitative reachability problem can be solved for decisive Markov chains (enjoying reasonable effectiveness assumptions) including probabilistic lossy channel systems a...
