  text: The increasing amount of alarms and information for an operator in a modern
    plant becomes a significant safety risk. Although the notifications are a valuable
    support, they also lead to the curse of overloading with information for the operator.
    Due to the huge amount of alarms it is almost impossible to separate the crucial
    information from the insignificant ones. Therefore, new procedures are required
    to reduce these alarm floods and support the operator to minimize the safety risk.
    One approach is based on learning a causal model that represents the relationships
    between the alarms. This allows alarm sequences that are causally implied to be
    reduced to the root cause alarm. Fundamental element of this approach is the causal
    model. Therefore in this work, different probabilistic graphical models are considered
    and evaluated on the basis of appropriate criteria. A real use case of a bottle
    filling module serves as a benchmark for how well they are suitable as a causal
    model for the application in alarm flood reduction.
