This paper shows how Componential Explanation as discussed within Cognitive Science and Philosophy of Science relates to Compositional Verification in Computer Science. It is shown how formal techniques and methods developed for Compositional Verification provide a formal basis and automated support for Componential Explanation. The role of formalised interlevel relations is shown to be crucial...

This paper (Part 2) presents the practical application of componential coding, the principles of which were described in the accompanying Part 1 paper. Four major issues are addressed, including optimization of the neural network, assessment of the anomaly detection results, development of diagnostic approaches (based on the reconstruction error) and also benchmarking of componential coding wit...

We examine the advantages and disadvantages of 2 types of analyses used in interpersonal perception studies: componential and noncomponential. Componential analysis of interpersonal perception data (Kenny, 1994) partitions a judgment into components and then estimates the variances of and the correlations between these components. A noncomponential analysis uses raw scores to analyze interperso...
