Explanation Trees for Causal Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks can be used to extract explanations about the observed state of a subset of variables. In this paper, we explicate the desiderata of an explanation and confront ...

Modeling Causal Reinforcement and Undermining with Noisy-AND Trees
Abstract. Causal modeling, such as noisy-OR, reduces probability parameters to be acquired in constructing a Bayesian network. Multiple causes can reinforce each other in producing...

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...

Causal Logic
This paper proposes a logic for causal based on event trees. Event trees provide a natural and familiar framework for probability and decision theory, but they lack the modularity...
