Causality and Intervention in Business Process Management
Bína, V. ; Jiroušek, Radim
The paper presents an algebraic approach to the modeling of causality in systems of stochastic variables. The methodology is based on an operator of a composition that provides the possibility of composing a multidimensional distribution from low-dimensional building blocks taking advantage of the dependence structure of the problem variables. The authors formally define and demonstrate on a hypothetical example a surprisingly elegant unifying approach to conditioning by a single variable and the evaluation of the effect of an intervention. Both operations are realized by the composition with a degenerated distribution and differ only in the sequence in which the operator of the composition is performed.
Avoiding overfitting of models: an application to research data on the Internet videos
Jiroušek, Radim ; Krejčová, I.
The problem of overfitting is studied from the perspective of information theory. In this context, data-based model learning can be viewed as a transformation process, a process transforming the information contained in data into the information represented by a model. The overfitting of a model often occurs when one considers an unnecessarily complex model, which usually means that the considered model contains more information than the original data. Thus, using one of the basic laws of information theory saying that any transformation cannot increase the amount of information, we get the basic restriction laid on models constructed from data: A model is acceptable if it does not contain more information than the input data file.
