Causality in Device Behavior
This paper shows how formal characterizations of causality and of the method of comparative statics, long used in economics, thermodynamics and other domains, can be applied to clarify and make rigorous the qualitative causal calculus recently proposed by de Kleer and Brown (1984). The formalization shows exactly what assumptions are required to carry out causal analysis of a system of interdep...
متن کاملMulti-response permutation procedure as an alternative to the analysis of variance: an SPSS implementation.
A permutation test typically requires fewer assumptions than does a comparable parametric counterpart. The multi-response permutation procedure (MRPP) is a class of multivariate permutation tests of group difference useful for the analysis of experimental data. However, psychologists seldom make use of the MRPP in data analysis, in part because the MRPP is not implemented in popular statistical...
متن کاملA Middle Persian Inscription from Persepolis
This article deciphers and analyzes a previously unknown Sassanian mint location represented by the inscription WLČ., based on the analysis of a Middle Persian inscription found in Persepolis, and on the linguistic changes that occurred during the transition to modern Persian. Evidence is presented to show that this previously unknown Sassanian mint designation corresponds to the modern-day ci...

news. If you create conditions incompatible with life, the program lets you know your patient is dead, this is the MacMan equivalent of crashing your airplane in a flight simulator, and should this happen you merely start again, because there is no equivalent to reversing the program and resurrecting the dead. Some of the experiment options include: cutting the buffer nerves, resetting barorece...
متن کاملCausality in Scale Space as an Approach to Change Detection
Kernel density estimation and kernel regression are useful ways to visualize and assess the structure of data. Using these techniques we define a temporal scale space as the vector space spanned by bandwidth and a temporal variable. In this space significance regions that reflect a significant derivative in the kernel smooth similar to those of SiZer (Significant Zero-crossings of derivatives) ...
