Causal Unit of Rotors in a Cardiac System [PDF]

, 2017
The heart exhibits complex systems behaviors during atrial fibrillation (AF), where the macroscopic collective behavior of the heart causes the microscopic behavior. However, the relationship between the downward causation and scale is nonlinear.

Causal modelling demonstrates metabolic power is largely affected by gait kinematics and motor control in children with cerebral palsy.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Metabolic power (net energy consumed while walking per unit time) is, on average, two-to-three times greater in children with cerebral palsy (CP) than their typically developing peers, contributing to greater physical fatigue, lower levels of physical ...

Physical Grounds for Causal Perspectivalism

Entropy, 2023
We ground the asymmetry of causal relations in the internal physical states of a special kind of open and irreversible physical system, a causal agent.

Causal Explanatory Power [PDF]

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2019
Schupbach and Sprenger (2011) introduce a novel probabilistic approach to measuring the explanatory power that a given explanans exerts over a corresponding explanandum. Though we are sympathetic to their general approach, we argue that it does not (without revision) adequately capture the way in which the causal explanatory power that c exerts on e ...

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies from Scaling Seeds: Generic Properties of the Correlation Functions [PDF]

, 1997
In this work we present a partially new method to analyze fluctuations which are induced by causal scaling seeds. We show that the power spectra due to this kind of seed perturbations are determined by five analytic functions, which we determine ...

Exposing the Probabilistic Causal Structure of Discrimination [PDF]

, 2017
Discrimination discovery from data is an important task aiming at identifying patterns of illegal and unethical discriminatory activities against protected-by-law groups, e.g., ethnic minorities.

TATES: efficient multivariate genotype-phenotype analysis for genome-wide association studies. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
To date, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) is the primary tool to identify genetic variants that cause phenotypic variation. As GWAS analyses are generally univariate in nature, multivariate phenotypic information is usually reduced to a single ...

The MVGC multivariate Granger causality toolbox: a new approach to Granger-causal inference [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Wiener-Granger causality (“G-causality”) is a statistical notion of causality applicable to time series data, whereby cause precedes, and helps predict, effect.
