abstract="We examine the causal relationship between domestic violence and the murder of a woman by her male partner using conditional independence. Given a murder, we consider the independence between domestic violence and a murdering husband/partner. The tria l of O.J. Simpson illustrates the usage of conditional independence in the courtroom. We extend Good's Bayesian analysis to include concepts of conditional independence and estimate related probabilities with timely data. We argue that evidence of domestic violence is relevant only where wives who suffer spousal abuse have a higher probability of being murdered by their spouses than non-abused wives.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
