Global Conditioning for Probabilistic Inference in Belief Networks
In this paper we propose a new approach to probabilistic inference on belief networks, global conditioning, which is a simple generalization of Pearl's (1986b) method of loop...

Jeffrey's rule of conditioning generalized to belief functions
: Jeffrey’s rule of conditioning has been proposed in order to revise a probability measure by another probability function. We generalize it within the framework of the models b...

A Decision-based View of Causality
Most traditional models of uncertainty have focused on the associational relationship among variables as captured by conditional dependence. In order to successfully manage intell...

A New Look at Causal Independence
Heckerman (1993) defined causal independence in terms of a set of temporal conditional independence statements. These statements formalized certain types of causal interaction whe...

Using Causal Information and Local Measures to Learn Bayesian Networks
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data. This method relies on the well known minimal description length (MDL) principle. The MDL ...
