Reichenbachian Common Cause Systems
A partition {Ci}i∈I of a Boolean algebra S in a probability measure space (S, p) is called a Reichenbachian common cause system for the correlated pair A, B of events in S if any two elements in the partition behave like a Reichenbachian common cause and its complement, the cardinality of the index set I is called the size of the common cause system. It is shown that given any correlation in (S...
متن کاملDo Reichenbachian Common Cause Systems of Arbitrary Finite Size Exist?
The principle of common cause asserts that positive correlations between causally unrelated events ought to be explained through the action of some shared causal factors. Reichenbachian common cause systems are probabilistic structures aimed at accounting for cases where correlations of the aforesaid sort cannot be explained through the action of a single common cause. The existence of Reichenb...
متن کاملDeveloping a method for reliability allocation of series-parallel systems by considering common cause failure
Reliability allocation has an essential connection to design for reliability and is an important activity in the product design and development process. In determining the reliability of subsystems or components on the basis of goal reliability, attention must be paid to failure effect, failure information, and improvement opportunities based upon real potentials for reliability improvement. In...
متن کاملCommon information revisited
One of the main notions of information theory is the notion of mutual information in two messages (two random variables in Shannon information theory or two binary strings in algorithmic information theory). The mutual information in x and y measures how much the transmission of x can be simplified if both the sender and the recipient know y in advance. Gács and Körner gave an example where mut...
متن کاملCommon Knowledge Revisited
We consider the common-knowledge paradox raised in [HM90]: common knowledge is necessary for coordination, but common knowledge is unattainable in the real world because of temporal imprecision. We discuss two solutions to this paradox: (1) modeling the world with a coarser granularity, and (2) relaxing the requirements for coordination.
