A Calculus for Causal Relevance
We present a sound and complete calculus for causal relevance that uses Pearl's functional causal models as semantics. The calculus consists of axioms and rules of inference ...

Instrumentality Tests Revisited
An instrument is a random variable that is uncorrelated with certain (unobserved) error terms and, thus, allows the identification of structural parameters in linear models. In no...

Learning the Dimensionality of Hidden Variables
A serious problem in learning probabilistic models is the presence of hidden variables. These variables are not observed, yet interact with several of the observed variables. Dete...

Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

Solving Influence Diagrams using HUGIN, Shafer-Shenoy and Lazy Propagation
In this paper we present three different architectures for the evaluation of influence diagrams: HUGIN, Shafer-Shenoy (S-S), and Lazy Propagation (LP). HUGIN and LP are two new ar...
