Abstract

This paper introduces two methods for comparing explanation power of different abductive theories. One is comparing for observations, and the other is comparing explanation content for observations. Those two measures are represented by generality relations over abductive theories. The generality relations are naturally related to the notion of abductive equivalence introduced by Inoue and Sakama. We also analyze the computational complexity of these relations.
