Causal Networks and Their Decomposition Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Causal networks (CNs) have been used to construct inference systems for diagnostics and decision making. More recently, Bayesian causal networks (BCNs) and fuzzy causal networks (FCNs) have gained considerable attention and offer an alternative framework for representing structured human knowledge and are used in causal inference in many real-world applications. However, for large systems, it is difficult to analyze and design causal networks. This paper presents two new approaches to partitioning fuzzy causal networks: causal modules and quotient space.

Generalization of Decomposed Integration Methods for Cost Effective Heat Exchanger Networks with Multiple Cost Laws
At many circumstances, in heat exchange processes several exchangers were used with different cost laws due to their pressure ratings, materials of construction and exchange3r types. In such circumstances traditional methods of pinch technology can not be led to minimum total annual cost may cause some other disadvantages like more complexity or higher maintenance. In this research work a n...

Intervention theories of causality define a relationship as causal if appropriately specified interventions to manipulate a putative cause tend to produce changes in the putative effect. Interventionist causal theories are commonly formalized by using directed graphs to represent causal relationships, local probability models to quantify the relationship between cause and effect, and a special ...
متن کاملTwo Proposals for Causal Grammars
In the previous chapter (Tenenbaum, Griffiths, & Niyogi, this volume), we introduced a framework for thinking about the structure, function, and acquisition of intuitive theories inspired by an analogy to the research program of generative grammar in linguistics. We argued that a principal function for intuitive theories, just as for grammars for natural languages, is to generate a constrained ...

Probabilistic graphical models are useful tools for modeling systems governed by probabilistic structure. Bayesian networks are one class of probabilistic graphical model that have proven useful for characterizing both formal systems and for reasoning with those systems. Probabilistic dependencies in Bayesian networks are graphically expressed in terms of directed links from parents to their ch...
متن کاملr Nonmo otonic Reasoning
C~vscsl theories are default theories which explicitly accommodate a distinction between ‘explained’ and ‘unexplained’ propositions. This is accomplished by means of an operator ‘C’ in the language for which propositions a! are assumed explained when literals of the form Car hold. The behavior of causal theories is determined by a preference relation on models based on the minimization of unexp...
