Lerman similarity +measurement method \cite{Lerman,Lermanb}, following the classic +approach in non-parametric tests (e. g. Fischer, Wilcoxon, etc.), we +define~\cite{Grasb,Grasf} the confirmatory quality measure of the +implicative relationship $a \Rightarrow b$ from the implausibility of +the occurrence in the data of the number of cases that invalidate it, +i.e. for which $a$ is verified without $b$ being verified. This +amounts to comparing the difference between the quota and the +theoretical if only chance occurred\footnote{"...[in agreement with + Jung] if the frequency of coincidences does not significantly + exceed the probability that they can be calculated by attributing + them solely by chance to the exclusion of hidden causal + relationships, we certainly have no reason to suppose the existence + of such relationships.", H. Atlan~\cite{Atlana}}. +But when analyzing data, it is this gap that we take into account and +not the statement of a rejection or null hypothesis eligibility. +This measure is relative to the number of data verifying $a$ and not +$b$ respectively, the circumstance in which the involvement is +precisely put in default. +It quantifies the expert's "astonishment" at the unlikely small number +of counter-examples in view of the supposed independence between the +variables and the numbers involved. + +Let us be clear. A finite set $V$ of $v$ variables is given: $a$, $b$, +$c$,... +In the classical paradigmatic situation and initially retained, it is +about the performance (success-failure) to items of a questionnaire. +To a finite set $E$ of $n$ subjects $x$, functions of the type : $x +\rightarrow a(x)$ where $a(x) = 1$ (or $a(x) = true$) if $x$ satisfies +or has the character $a$ and $0$ (or $a(x) = false$) otherwise are +associated by abuse of writing. +In artificial intelligence, we will say that $x$ is an example or an +instance for $a$ if $a(x) = 1$ and a counter-example if not. + + +The $a \Rightarrow b$ rule is logically true if for any $x$ in the +sample, $b(x)$ is null only if $a(x)$ is also null; in other words if +set $A$ of the $x$ for which $a(x)=1$ is contained in set $B$ of the +$x$ for which $b(x)=1$. +However, this strict inclusion is only exceptionally observed in the +pragmatically encountered experiments. +In the case of a knowledge questionnaire, we could indeed observe a +few rare students passing an item $a$ and not passing item $b$, +without contesting the tendency to pass item $b$ when we have passed +item $a$. +With regard to the cardinals of $E$ (of size $n$), but also of $A$ (or +$n_a$) and $B$ (or $n_b$), it is therefore the "weight" of the +counter-examples (or) that must be taken into account in order to +statistically accept whether or not to keep the quasi-implication or +quasi-rule $a \Rightarrow b$. Thus, it is from the dialectic of +example-counter-examples that the rule appears as the overcoming of +contradiction. + +\subsection{Formalization} + +To formalize this quasi-rule, we consider any two parts $X$ and $Y$ of +$E$, chosen randomly and independently (absence of a priori link +between these two parts) and of the same respective cardinals as $A$ +and $B$. Let $\overline{Y}$ and $\overline{B}$ be the respective complementary of $Y$ and $B$ in $E$ of the same cardinal $n_{\overline{b}}= n-n_b$. + +We will then say: +Definition 1: $a \Rightarrow b$ is acceptable at confidence level +$1-\alpha$ if and only if +$$Pr[Card(X\cap \overline{Y})\leq card(A\cap \overline{B})]\leq \alpha$$ + +\begin{figure}[htbp] + \centering +\includegraphics[scale=0.34]{chap2fig1.png} + \caption{The dark grey parts correspond to the counter-examples of the + implication $a \Rightarrow b$} +\label{chap2fig1} +\end{figure} + +It is established \cite{Lermanb} that, for a certain drawing process, +the random variable $Card(X\cap \overline{Y})$ follows the Poisson law +of parameter $\frac{n_a n_{\overline{b}}}{n}$. +We achieve this same result by proceeding differently in the following +way: + +Note $X$ (resp. $Y$) the random subset of binary transactions where +$a$ (resp. $b$) would appear, independently, with the frequency +$\frac{n_a}{n}$ (resp. $\frac{n_b}{n}$). +To specify how the transactions specified in variables $a$ and $b$, +respectively $A$ and $B$, are extracted, for example, the following +semantically permissible assumptions are made regarding the +observation of the event: $[a=1~ and~ b=0]$. $(A\cap +\overline{B})$\footnote{We then note $\overline{v}$ the variable + negation of $v$ (or $not~ v$) and $\overline{P}$ the complementary + part of the part P of E.} is the subset of transactions, +counter-examples of implication $a \Rightarrow b$: + +Assumptions: +\begin{itemize} +\item h1: the waiting times of an event $[a~ and~ not~ b]$ are independent + random variables; +\item h2: the law of the number of events occurring in the time + interval $[t,~ t+T[$ depends only on T; +\item h3: two such events cannot occur simultaneously +\end{itemize} diff --git a/figures/chap2fig1.png b/figures/chap2fig1.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..690c0fd Binary files /dev/null and b/figures/chap2fig1.png differ diff --git a/figures/chap2fig1.svg b/figures/chap2fig1.svg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fa7433b --- /dev/null +++ b/figures/chap2fig1.svg @@ -0,0 +1,175 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + image/svg+xml + + + + + + + + + + + + B(nb) + A(na) + Y(nb) + X(na) + + diff --git a/references.tex b/references.tex index 0aacc0c..7e588e8 100644 --- a/references.tex +++ b/references.tex @@ -191,12 +191,10 @@ Cépaduès Ed.
