A General Algorithm for Deciding Transportability of Experimental Results
Elias Bareinboim, Judea Pearl
Generalizing empirical findings to new environments, settings, or populations is essential in most scientific explorations. This article treats a particular problem of generalizabi…
A Constraint Propagation Approach to Probabilistic Reasoning
Judea Pearl
The paper demonstrates that strict adherence to probability theory does not preclude the use of concurrent, self-activated constraint-propagation mechanisms for managing uncertaint…
Learning Link-Probabilities in Causal Trees
Igor Roizer, Judea Pearl
A learning algorithm is presented which given the structure of a causal tree, will estimate its link probabilities by sequential measurements on the leaves only. Internal nodes of…
Distributed Revision of Belief Commitment in Multi-Hypothesis Interpretations
Judea Pearl
This paper extends the applications of belief-networks to include the revision of belief commitments, i.e., the categorical acceptance of a subset of hypotheses which, together, co…
The Recovery of Causal Poly-Trees from Statistical Data
George Rebane, Judea Pearl
Poly-trees are singly connected causal networks in which variables may arise from multiple causes. This paper develops a method of recovering ply-trees from empirically measured pr…
Do We Need Higher-Order Probabilities and, If So, What Do They Mean?
Judea Pearl
The apparent failure of individual probabilistic expressions to distinguish uncertainty about truths from uncertainty about probabilistic assessments have prompted researchers to s…
