Completeness in Probabilistic Metric Spaces
The idea of probabilistic metric space was introduced by Menger and he showed that probabilistic metric spaces are generalizations of metric spaces. Thus, in this paper, we prove some of the important features and theorems and conclusions that are found in metric spaces. At the beginning of this paper, the distance distribution functions are proposed. These functions are essential in defining p...
متن کاملRelationships between completeness of fuzzy quasi-uniform spaces
In this paper, we give a kind of Cauchy 1-completeness in probabilistic quasi-uniform spaces by using 1-filters. Utilizingthe relationships among probabilistic quasi-uniformities, classical quasi-uniformities and Hutton [0, 1]-quasi-uniformities,we show the relationships between their completeness. In fuzzy quasi-metric spaces, we establish the relationshipsbetween the completeness of induced p...
متن کاملProbabilistic Theories of Causality
This chapter provides an overview of a range of probabilistic theories of causality, including those of Reichenbach, Good and Suppes, and the contemporary causal net approach. It discusses two key problems for probabilistic accounts: counterexamples to these theories and their failure to account for the relationship between causality and mechanisms. It is argued that to overcome the problems, a...
متن کاملAssessment of the completeness of Volunteered Geographic Information focusing on building blocks data (Case Study: Tehran metropolis)
Open Street Map (OSM) is currently the largest collection of volunteered geographic data, widely used in many projects as an alternative to or integrated with authoritative data. However, the quality of these data has been one of the obstacles to the widely use of it. In this article, from among the elements related to the quality of volunteered geographic data, we have tried to examine the com...
متن کاملCausal Reasoning with Continuous Outcomes
We describe an attempt to understand causal reasoning in situations where a binary cause produces a change on a continuous magnitude dimension. We consider established theories of binary probabilistic causal inference – ΔP and Power PC – and adapt them to continuous non-probabilistic outcomes. While ΔP describes causal strength as the difference of effect occurrence between the presence and abs...
