Minimal Sense of Cause

(Min): X causes Y if and only if there are circumstances such that if some (single) intervention that changes the value of X (and no other variable) were to occur, then Y or the probability distribution of Y would change.

Probabilistic Causal Explanation

1. Pr(E|Cexpl) ≈ Pr(E|C)

2. Pr(E|Cexpl ≈ Pr(E|Cexpl∧Ck) for all Ck

Causes : Stable Causes

Causes : Specific Causes

Causes : Proportional Causes
