The Causal Graph Revisited for Directed Model Checking
[chapter]

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we introduce the causal graph structure to the context of directed model checking. ...
Based on causal graph analysis, we first adapt a distance estimation function from AI planning to directed model checking. ...

A Complexity Assessment for Queries Involving Sufficient and Necessary Causes
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this work, we revisit a recently proposed multi-valued semantics for logic programs where each true atom in a stable model is associated with a set of expressions (or causal justifications) involving ...
Unfortunately, in the worst case, the number of causal justifications for an atom can be exponential with respect to the program size, so that computing the complete causal model may become intractable ...
for more details), we can build the reduct P J using each non-causal stable model J and then proceed to compute its least causal model iterating the direct consequences operator for that reduct, T P J ...

Robustness of Model Predictions under Extension
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
A caveat to using models for analysis is that predicted causal effects and conditional independences may not be robust under model extensions, and therefore applicability of such models is limited. ...
We show how to use the technique of causal ordering to efficiently assess the robustness of qualitative model predictions and characterize a large class of model extensions that preserve these predictions ...

Tracing Causality and Co-movement between Pakistani and the Leading Foreign Stock Markets: A Graph Theoretic Approach
2020
International Review of Management and Business Research
This paper developed and modify Peter and Clark (PC) causality algorithm to revisit the causal linkages between Pakistan and the leading foreign stock markets. ...
Later on, (Swanson & Granger, 1997) for the first time used VAR residuals in PC algorithm to determine the causal ordering in time series. ...
The results of GARCH and GJR model indicates that the return of Indian stock market (BSE-SENSEX) effect the return of Pakistan stock market (KSE-100) while the other two stock markets Bangladesh and Sir ...

The potential dangers of causal consistency and an explicit solution
2012
Proceedings of the Third ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing - SoCC '12
Causal consistency is the strongest consistency model that is available in the presence of partitions and provides useful semantics for human-facing distributed services. ...
Explicit causality, a subset of potential causality, tracks only relevant dependencies and reduces several of the potential dangers of causal consistency. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to thank Neil Conway, Aurojit Panda, and Patrick Wendell for constructive commentary on earlier versions of this manuscript. ...

Lifted Representation of Relational Causal Models Revisited: Implications for Reasoning and Structure Learning
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
Maier et al. (2010) introduced the relational causal model (RCM) for representing and inferring causal relationships in relational data. ...
We revisit the definition of AGG and show that AGG, as defined in Maier et al. (2013b), does not correctly abstract all ground graphs. ...

Learning Sparse Causal Models is not NP-hard
[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
This paper shows that causal model discovery is not an NP-hard problem, in the sense that for sparse graphs bounded by node degree k the sound and complete causal model can be obtained in worst case order ...
We present a modification of the well-known FCI algorithm that implements the method for an independence oracle, and suggest improvements for sample/real-world data versions. ...
A causal DAG G C is a directed acyclic model where the arcs represent direct causal interactions (Pearl, 2000) . ...

Stateless software model checking parameterized with memory consistency models

Furthermore, I apply the algorithm to several well-known architectures and programs, and evaluate its performance compared to state-of-the-art software model checking [...] ...
This algorithm builds on the stateless model checking approach, which yields a significantly lower memory usage than other techniques by using a smart exploration strategy to manage the large state space ...
Model Checking Model checking is an area of formal verification, which uses a finite-state model of a system (in the case of software verification, a program) for checking whether it meets a given set ...

Causal sets from simple models of computation
[article]
2010
arXiv
pre-print
For each model we identify the causality relation among computation events, implement it, and conduct a possibly exhaustive exploration of the associated causal set space, while examining quantitative ...
Causality among events is widely recognized as a most fundamental structure of spacetime, and causal sets have been proposed as discrete models of the latter in the context of quantum gravity theories, ...

Moreover, we give sufficient graphical conditions for testing and estimating the causal effect of exposure on outcome. The practical use is illustrated with a number of examples. ...
Graphical models represent assumptions about the conditional independencies among the variables. ...
In addition to directed acyclic and undirected graphs, we want to point out that chain graphs provide a further class of useful models. ...
