Structure and Parameter Learning for Causal Independence and Causal Interaction Models
We begin by discussing causal independence models and generalize these models to causal interaction models. Causal interaction models are models that have independent mechanisms w...

Causal Dependence Tree Approximations of Joint Distributions for Multiple Random Processes
—We investigate approximating joint distributions of random processes with causal dependence tree distributions. Such distributions are particularly useful in providing parsimoni...
