Causal propensities: Statistical causality vs. aleatory causality
Topoi, 1990For many years I have been thinking about scientific explanation, especially statistical explanation. From the beginning I disagreed with Carl G. Hempel on this subject. He claimed that high probability is a requirement for acceptable statistical explanations; 1 I argued that we need, instead, relations of statistical relevance.

Causal Ordering and Causality reversals
Storia del pensiero economico : bollettino di informazione e documentazione, 2006It is shown that if equilibrium conditions are included among the components of standard economic models we may establish the Simon-type causal ordering where we have causality reversals, a result which is rather disturbing and which allows only an epistemic interpretation of Simon’s causal ordering.

The goal of research is to discover new knowledge to improve patient care. Research is essential because of its ability to establish causal relationships. This article discusses the minimum requirements a research report must meet to establish a causal relationship.

Causal trees: Interleaving + causality
1990Causal Trees are a variant of Milner's Synchronization Trees with enriched action labels which supply indication of the observable causes of observable actions, thus providing us with an interleaving description of concurrent systems which faithfully expresses causality.

The problem of disentangling complex dynamic systems is addressed, especially with a view to identifying those variables that take part in the essential qualitative behaviour of systems. The author presents a series of reflections about the methods of formalisation together with the principles that govern the global operation of systems. In particular,

Summary: Nancy Cartwright offers an account of causal powers, and argues that it explains some important general features of scientific method. Patricia Cheng argues that this theory is superior as a psychological theory of learning to standard models of conditioning. I extend and develop the theory, and argue that it provides the best explanation of a

Optical flow is a widely used technique for extracting flow information from video images. While it is useful for estimating temporary movement in video images, it only captures one aspect of extracting dominant flow information from a sequence of video images.

AbstractProvides a critical analysis and comparison of the theories of probabilistic causality offered by Hans Reichenbach I.J. Good and Patrick Suppes. Each of these theories faces some fundamental difficulties. In the end, the author argues that probabilistic causality cannot be explicated in terms of statistical relations among discrete events alone.

Causal Explanations, Causal Determinism
2003AbstractPeople appeal to hidden, nonobvious features in constructing certain categories. The question that arises is: why should this be? The essentialist position proposes that causes are more important than effects — and causes are more internal, hidden, nonobvious than are effects (at least for natural kinds).

Conventional Decision Theory takes the expected value of an act \(A\) having outcomes \(0\) in the set \(\mathbf{O}\) as \[ \mathbf{EV}(A) = \sum_{O \in \mathbf{O}}{{\mathbf{PROB}}(O/A)}. \] This doesn't always work. For example, suppose your choice is between smoking and not smoking, but that both a propensity to cancer and the desire to smoke are the
