Temporal Constraint Networks
TLDR
This paper extends network-based methods of constraint satisfaction to include continuous variables, thus providing a framework for processing temporal constraints that permits the processing of metric information, namely, assessments of time differences between events. Expand

  • 2 August 2001
TLDR
This paper presents a new definition of path-specific effects that is based on path switching, instead of vari­ able fixing, and that extends the interpretation and evaluation of direct and indirect effects to nonlinear models. Expand

Causal diagrams for empirical research
SUMMARY The primary aim of this paper is to show how graphical models can be used as a mathematical language for integrating statistical and subject-matter information. In particular, the paper… Expand

Equivalence and synthesis of causal models
TLDR
A canonical representation for causal models is presented which yields an efficient graphical crite­ rion for deciding equivalence, and provides a theoret­ ical basis for extracting causal structures from em­ pirical data. Expand

Fusion, Propagation, and Structuring in Belief Networks
  • J. Pearl
  • Computer Science
  • Artif. Intell.
  • 1 September 1986
TLDR
Belief networks are directed acyclic graphs in which the nodes represent propositions (or variables), the arcs signify direct dependencies between the linked propositions, and the strengths of these dependencies are quantified by conditional probabilities. Expand
