Some Properties of Most Relevant Explanation

This paper provides a study of the theoretical properties of Most Relevant Explanation (MRE) [12]. The study shows that MRE defines an implicit soft relevance measure that enables automatic pruning of less relevant or irrelevant variables when generating explanations. The measure also allows MRE to capture the intuitive phenomenon of explaining away encoded in Bayesian networks. Furthermore, we...

An explanation for some fallstreak clouds

Fallstreak cirrus clouds are associated with supersaturated air, together with waves, instabilities and/or turbulence; however, their precise cause is usually uncertain. This paper uses already-published satellite, radiosonde and radar data, reanalysed to study some large fallstreaks which had been previously overlooked. The fallstreaks – up to 60 km long with a parent cloud 20 km wide – are ca...

Recommended dietary intake levels for phytochemicals: Feasible or fanciful?

Phytochemicals are biologically active compounds, found in plants in small amounts, which are not established nutrients but which nevertheless seem to contribute significantly to protection against degenerative disease. At present, most interest in phytochemicals is focused on the polyphenolic flavonoids and on the carotenoids, although allium compounds, glucosinolates, indoles and coumarins ha...
