Actual causation and the art of modeling

چکیده
We look more carefully at the modeling of causality using structural equations. It is clear that the structural equations can have a major impact on the conclusions we draw about causality. In particular, the choice of variables and their values can also have a significant impact on causality. These choices are, to some extent, subjective. We consider what counts as an appropriate choice. More generally, we consider what makes a model an appropriate model, especially if we want to take defaults into account, as was argued is necessary in recent work.

Actual causation in CP-logic
Given a causal model of some domain and a particular story that has taken place in this domain, the problem of actual causation is deciding which of the possible causes for some effect actually caused it. One of the most influential approaches to this problem has been developed by Halpern and Pearl in the context of structural models. In this paper, I argue that this is actually not the best se...
متن کاملANFIS modeling and validation of a variable speed wind turbine based on actual data
In this research paper, ANFIS modeling and validation of Vestas 660 kW wind turbine based on actual data obtained from Eoun-Ebn-Ali wind farm in Tabriz, Iran, and FAST is performed. The turbine modeling is performed by deriving the non-linear dynamic equations of different subsystems. Then, the model parameters are identified to match the actual response. ANFIS is an artificial intelligent tech...
متن کاملModeling and Optimization of Industrial Multi-Stage Compressed Air System Using Actual Variable Effectiveness in Hot Regions
In this article, modeling and optimization of power consumption of two–stage compressed air system has been investigated. To do so, the two – stage compressed air cycle with intercooler of FAJR Petroleum Company was considered. This cycle includes two centrifugal compressors, a shell, and a tube intercooler. For modeling of power consumption, actual compressors isentropic efficiencies and inter...
