The implication problem of probabilistic conditional independencies is investigated in the presence of missing data. Here, graph separation axioms fail to hold for saturated conditional independencies, unlike the known idealized case with no missing data. Several axiomatic, algorithmic, and logical characterizations of the implication problem for saturated conditional independencies are establi...

1. The TPP is of critical importance to Taiwan. Its importance and implications are reflected in three major aspects. First is the economic implication if Taiwan joins (or failed to join) the TPP bandwagon. Second is the implication on domestic reforms, i.e. using TPP as a driving force for Taiwan to undertake reform initiatives. Last but not least is the political implication for Taiwan as a p...

Some open problems on fuzzy implications dealing with the so-called importation law are studied and totally or partially solved in this work. In particular, it is proved that such property (in fact a weaker version than the law of importation) is stronger than the exchange principle. Along this study, new characterizations of (S,N)-implications and R-implications involving the law of importatio...

objective: in about 50% of infertile couples a male factor can be found to be present either alone or in addition to other female factors. a new molecular mechanism recently revealed to be involved in infertility is epigenetic pattern modification like as aberrant methylation. this mechanism can change or even silence gene expression. on the other hand, gstm1 (glutathione s-transferase mu 1) ...

Path constraints have been studied for semistructured data modeled as a rooted edge-labeled directed graph 4, 11{13]. In this model, the implication problems associated with many natural path constraints are undecidable 11, 13]. A variant of the graph model, called the deter-ministic data model, was recently proposed in 10]. In this model, data is represented as a graph with deterministic edge ...

Path constraints have been studied in [4, 11, 12, 13] for semistructured data modeled as a rooted edge-labeled directed graph. They have proven useful in the optimization of path queries. However, in this graph model, the implication problems associated with many natural path constraints are undecidable [11, 13]. A variant of the graph model, called the deterministic data model , was recently p...

We introduce a fuzzy implication stemming from a fuzzy lattice inclusion measure. We study “reasonable axioms” and properties of the aforementioned fuzzy implication, which (properties) are typicaly required in the literature and could be important in certain applications.

A class of implication functions is constructed from fuzzy negations. The interest of this new class lies in its simplicity and in the fact that when N is Idsymmetrical, the corresponding implication agrees with the residuum of a commutative semicopula.
