A refinement of the common cause principle
I study the interplay between stochastic dependence and causal relations within the setting of Bayesian networks and in terms of information theory. The application of a recently defined causal information flow measure provides a quantitative refinement of Reichenbach’s common cause principle.
متن کاملOn Reichenbach's Principle of the Common Cause
it has become one of the focal points of the continuing discussion of causation. The paper addresses five questions. Section 1 asks: What does the principle say? And section 2 asks: What is its philosophical significance? The most important question, of course, is this: Is the principle true? To answer that question, however, one must first consider how one might one argue about it at all. One ...
متن کاملTwo Comments on the Common Cause Principle
Until the 1990’s philosophers took it almost for granted that the common cause principle is at odds with quantum theory. Roughly, they argued that a common cause explanation of correlations between four pairs of events leads inevitably to Bell inequalities, and since Bell inequalities are violated in quantum theory, there cannot be a common cause explanation of quantum correlations. Redei and h...
متن کاملInformation Independence and Common Knowledge
Conditions of information independence are important in information economics and game theory. We present notions of partial independence in Bayesian environments, and study their relationships to notions of common knowledge.
متن کاملPre-logical Relations
We study a weakening of the notion of logical relations, called prelogical relations, that has many of the features that make logical relations so useful as well as further algebraic properties including composability. The basic idea is simply to require the reverse implication in the definition of logical relations to hold only for pairs of functions that are expressible by the same lambda ter...
