A Probabilistic Analysis of Causation [PDF]

open access: yesThe British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2011
The starting point in the development of probabilistic analyses of token causation has usually been the naive intuition that, in some relevant sense, a cause raises the probability of its effect. But there are well-known examples both of non-probability-raising causation and of probability-raising non-causation.

Assume-guarantee verification for probabilistic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a compositional verification technique for systems that exhibit both probabilistic and nondeterministic behaviour. We adopt an assume- guarantee approach to verification, where both the assumptions made about system components and the ...

Probabilistic model checking of complex biological pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Probabilistic model checking is a formal verification technique that has been successfully applied to the analysis of systems from a broad range of domains, including security and communication protocols, distributed algorithms and power management.

Reducing Statistical Uncertainty in Elastic Settlement Analysis of Shallow Foundations Relying on Targeted Field Investigation: A Random Field Approach

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
The present paper deals with the practical problem of reducing statistical uncertainty in elastic settlement analysis of shallow foundations by relying on targeted field investigation with the aim of an optimal design.

Flood adaptation decision‐making for vulnerable locations using expectation–quantile–investment analysis

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, 2023
Floods represent one of the major challenges facing human societies. The impacts caused by them are extensive, and efficient flood adaptation will play a key role in the current century.

The Effect of Targeted Field Investigation on the Reliability of Earth-Retaining Structures in Passive State: A Random Field Approach

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
In one of their recent works, the authors examined parametrically the effect of targeted field investigation on reducing statistical uncertainty in active state analysis of earth retaining structures based on 2165 different cases for each of the sliding ...

Probabilistic Reaction Time Analysis

open access: yesACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, 2023
In many embedded systems, for instance, in the automotive, avionic, or robotics domain, critical functionalities are implemented via chains of communicating recurrent tasks. To ensure safety and correctness of such systems, guarantees on the reaction time, that is, the delay between a cause (e.g., an external activity or reading of a sensor) and the ...

Performance analysis of probabilistic timed automata using digital clocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Probabilistic timed automata, a variant of timed automata extended with discrete probability distributions, is a modelling formalism suitable for describing formally both nondeterministic and probabilistic aspects of real-time systems, and is amenable to
