Directed acyclic graphs and causal thinking in clinical risk prediction modeling
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020 Background In epidemiology, causal inference and prediction modeling methodologies have been historically distinct. Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) are used to model a priori causal assumptions and inform variable selection strategies for causal questions.

Instability of blanket bog slopes on Cuilcagh Mountain, N.W. Ireland [PDF]
There are many accounts of slope failures on blanket bogs, but their nature and controls are poorly understood. This study investigates the mechanisms of blanket bog failure on Cuilcagh Mountain, north-west Ireland, and identifies the critical factors ...

Online Streaming Feature Selection via Conditional Independence
Applied Sciences, 2018 Online feature selection is a challenging topic in data mining. It aims to reduce the dimensionality of streaming features by removing irrelevant and redundant features in real time.

A Technical Critique of Some Parts of the Free Energy Principle
Entropy, 2021 We summarize the original formulation of the free energy principle and highlight some technical issues. We discuss how these issues affect related results involving generalised coordinates and, where appropriate, mention consequences for and reveal, up ...

Two generalizations of Markov blankets
CoRR, 2019 In a probabilistic graphical model on a set of variables $V$, the Markov blanket of a random vector $B$ is the minimal set of variables conditioned to which $B$ is independent from the remaining of the variables $V \backslash B$. We generalize Markov blankets to study how a set $C$ of variables of interest depends on~$B$.

Online Feature Selection for Streaming Features Using Self-Adaption Sliding-Window Sampling
IEEE Access, 2019 In recent years, online feature selection has been a research topic on streaming feature mining, as it can reduce the dimensionality of the streaming features by removing the irrelevant and redundant features in real time.
