现实因果与造型艺术

Actual causation and the art of modeling

Joseph Y. Halpern, Christopher Hitchcock

摘要:

我们更仔细地研究了使用结构方程的因果关系建模。很明显,结构方程对我们得出的因果关系的结论有重大影响。特别是,变量及其值的选择也会对因果关系产生重大影响。这些选择在某种程度上是主观的。我们认为什么是适当的选择。更一般地说,我们考虑是什么使一个模型成为一个合适的模型,特别是如果我们想考虑默认值,因为在最近的工作中被认为是必要的。

英文摘要:

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.
