Feldbacher-Escamilla Modeling creative abduction Bayesian style 2018 15 .pdf application/pdf 7224 634 58 Keywords Creative abduction · Theoretical concepts · Bayes nets · Unification · is based on the idea that inferences to theoretical concepts unifying empirical correlations among dispositions can be justified by Reichenbach's (1956) principle of the empirical correlations among dispositions and how it can be justified by Reichenbach's (1956) principle of the common cause. of underdetermination, and the connection of modeling successful instances of creative abduction Bayesian style to epistemic challenges tackled in the causal inference Like in Schurz' (2008) original approach, creative abduction provides unification if modeled Bayesian style. In the Bayes net setting, pairwise empirical correlations between n lower-level dispositions D1, ..., Dn consist in Given n correlated lower-level dispositions, u(n) measures the ratio between x(n) empirical statements to be unified and y(n) unifying If these conditional dependencies are also taken into account, then creative abduction Bayesian style provides a tremendous gain in unificatory power (see Fig. 2, ./cache/work_w52vihhgsjciblwsmlbpbpamqi.pdf ./txt/work_w52vihhgsjciblwsmlbpbpamqi.txt
