How to encode causal relations in Prolog (as a linear function)
问题 Suppose that two variables X and Y are causally and linearly related, so that an increase in X produces an increase in Y (e.g. travel distance for cars and their fuel consumption). Both X and Y are vectors of N observations (N individual cars in the example). A way to represent such a relation is a simple linear equation Yi = a + bXi, which would describe the relation in the sample of N cases, where i = 1, 2, ..., N. Here a and b are constants, while Y and X are variables. Do you have any
