Causal Reasoning for Events in Continuous Time: A Decision - Theoretic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamics of events occurring in continuous time can be modelled using marked point processes, or multi-state processes. Here, we review and extend the work of Røysland et al. (2015) on causal reasoning with local independence graphs for marked point processes in the context of survival analysis. We relate the results to the decision-theoretic approach of Dawid & Didelez (2010) using influence diagrams, and present additional identifying conditions.

Decision-Theoretic Foundations for Causal Reasoning
We present a de nition of cause and e ect in terms of decision-theoretic primitives and thereby provide a principled foundation for causal reasoning. Our de nition departs from the traditional view of causation in that causal assertions may vary with the set of decisions available. We argue that this approach provides added clarity to the notion of cause. Also in this paper, we examine the enco...

متن کاملComprehensive Decision Modeling of Reverse Logistics System: A Multi-criteria Decision Making Model by using Hybrid Evidential Reasoning Approach and TOPSIS (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In the last two decades, product recovery systems have received increasing attention due to several reasons such as new governmental regulations and economic advantages. One of the most important activities of these systems is to assign returned products to suitable reverse manufacturing alternatives. Uncertainty of returned products in terms of quantity, quality, and time complicates the decis...
متن کاملDesign of Task-Level Robot Control Systems
Task-level control problems are ones that involve significant coordination of planning, perception and action. Robot systems capable of performing complex tasks are typically composed of many concurrent components. The design problem is to develop a control system that safely and reliably achieves its given tasks. We focus on two aspects of this problem: eliminating unwanted interactions amongs...
متن کاملGame-Theoretic Approach for Pricing Decisions in Dual-Channel Supply Chain
In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...
