Conditional independence in valuation-based systems
This paper introduces the concept of conditional independence in valuation-based systems (VBS). VBS is an axiomatic framework capable of representing many different uncertainty calculi. We define conditional independence in terms of factorization of the joint valuation. The definition of conditional independence in VBS generalizes the corresponding definition in probability theory. Besides prob...
متن کاملValuation Networks and Conditional Independence
Valuation networks have been proposed as graph� ical representations of valuation�based systems (VBSs). The VBS framework is able to capture many uncertainty calculi including probability theory, Dempster�Shafer's belief�function theory, Spohn's epistemic belief theory, and Zadeh's possibility theory. In this paper, we show how valuation networks encode conditional indepen� dence relations. For...

متن کاملIndependence and Conditional Independence in Causal Systems
This paper studies the interrelations between independence or conditional independence and causal relations, defined in terms of functional dependence, that hold among variables of interest within the settable system framework of White and Chalak. We provide formal conditions ensuring the validity of Reichenbach’s principle of common cause and introduce a new conditional counterpart, the condit...
متن کاملPropositional Independence Conditional independence
Independence – the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning – is an important AI topic. In this paper, we investigate several notions of conditional independence in propositional logic: Darwiche and Pearl’s conditional independence, and two more restricted forms of it, called strong conditional independence and perfect conditional independence. Many characterizations and proper...
