Whodunit? Causal Analysis for Counterexamples
Although the counterexample returned by a model checker can help in reproducing the symptom related to a defect, a significant amount of effort is often required for the programmer to interpret it in order to locate the cause. In this paper, we provide an automated procedure to zoom in to potential software defects by analyzing a single concrete counterexample. Our analysis relies on extracting...

متن کاملConditionals in causal decision theory
This paper explores the possibility that causal decision theory can be formulated in terms of probabilities of conditionals. It is argued that a generalized Stalnaker semantics in combination with an underlying branching time structure not only provides the basis for a plausible account of the semantics of indicative conditionals, but also that the resulting conditionals have properties that ma...

g Z I Y ( t ) = exp (-nizy + 27r iy t ) g ( t z), t E w We truncate the channel response so that N , = 0 and AT, = 20. As before, the channel input is an i.i.d. sequence, and the noise is stationary and white with SNR,h,, =20 dB. We assume the number of feedforward taps is fixed at q = 10. Fig. 3 shows the optimal decision delay (defined as thlat which maximizes SNRDFE) versus the number of fee...
متن کاملOn an alleged counter-example to causal decision theory
An alleged counterexample to causal decision theory, put forward by Andy Egan, is studied in some detail. It is argued that Egan rejects the evaluation of causal decision theory on the basis of a description of the decision situation that is different from – indeed inconsistent with – the description on which causal decision makes its evaluation. So the example is not a counterexample to causal...
