Workshop
A Refinement of the Common Cause Principle
- Nihat Ay (MPI MiS Leipzig, Germany)
Abstract
I study the interplay between stochastic dependence and causal relations within the setting of Bayesian networks and in terms of information theory. The application of a recently defined causal information flow measure provides a quantitative refinement of Reichenbach's common cause principle, see the working paper at Santa Fe Institute.
