From: A dependence detection heuristic in causal induction to handle nonbinary variables
Cause (\(\:C\)) | Effect (\(\:E\)) | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
Present (\(\:E=1\)) | Absent (\(\:E=0\)) | ||
Present (\(\:C=1\)) | \(\:a=N\left(C=1,E=1\right)\) | \(\:b=N\left(C=1,E=0\right)\) | \(\:N\left(C=1\right)\) |
Present (\(\:C\approx\:0.5\)) | \(\:m=N\left(C\approx\:0.5,E=1\right)\) | \(\:n=N\left(C\approx\:0.5,E=0\right)\) | \(\:N\left(C\approx\:0.5\right)\) |
Absent (\(\:C=0\)) | \(\:c=N\left(C=0,E=1\right)\) | \(\:d=N\left(C=0,E=0\right)\) | \(\:N\left(C=0\right)\) |
Total | \(\:N\left(E=1\right)\) | \(\:N\left(E=0\right)\) | \(\:\text{N}\left({\Omega\:}\right)\) |
