compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups
this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
15 صفحه اولAspectual and causal structure in event representations
Melissa Bowerman’s research in argument structure and verbal semantics in language acquisition has had a profound influence on the study of argument structure, including my own work. I hope to return to her the favor in a small way by contributing this outline of an analysis of verbal semantics and argument linking that offers a way of representing some of the results of Bowerman’s research. In...
متن کاملThe Causal Effects of Competition on Innovation: Experimental Evidence
In this paper, we design two laboratory experiments to analyze the causal effects of competition on step-by-step innovation. Innovations result from costly R&D investments and move technology up one step. Competition is inversely measured by the ex post rents for firms that operate at the same technological level, i.e. for neck and neck firms. First, we find that increased competition leads to ...
متن کاملCausal Discovery of Experimental
This paper describes a Bayesian method for combining an arbitrary mixture of observational and experimental data in order to learn causal Bayesian networks. Observational data are passively observed. Experimental data, such as that produced by randomized controlled trials, result from the experimenter manipulating one or more variables (typically randomly) and observing the states of other vari...
متن کاملCompact Representations of Extended Causal Models
Judea Pearl (2000) was the first to propose a definition of actual causation using causal models. A number of authors have suggested that an adequate account of actual causation must appeal not only to causal structure but also to considerations of normality. In Halpern and Hitchcock (2011), we offer a definition of actual causation using extended causal models, which include information about ...
