“correlation is not causation” that they will not statecausal hypotheses or draw causal inferences, referring to their researchas “studying association and not causation.” Others make apparentcausal statements with ease, labeling unevaluated hypotheses or spec-ulations as “explanations” on the ...
因此,Pearson感慨说"correlation does not imply causation"。鉴于此,整个统计学派避免涉及到因果方面的数据的解释。事实上,Simpson's paradox也启示我们不要仅仅基于观测的数据做决策。我们需要额外的context information,而我们会看到这些context information其实就是因果结构。 A Paradox ResolvedPearl从三个方面说明Simpson...
Since one of the principal phenomena Nagarjuna analyzes as empty is causation, it is not surprising that some read the first chapter of Mulamadhyamakakarika as an attack on the reality of causation. After all, in the very first verse he asserts: Neither from itself nor from another, Nor fro...
the relationship between an agent and a disease is causal (general causation) and where the magnitude of excess risk attributed to the agent has been determined; that is, epidemiology addresses whether an agent can cause a disease, not whether an agent did cause a specific plaintiff's disease....

By now, we hopefully agree that there is something to causality, and it has much to offer. However, we have yet to really define causality. We must begin with a familiar refrain: correlation is not causation.From correlation to causation...
In the passage above, Jesper Hoffmeyer reconfirms the Peircean thesis that the determination of final causation lies at the root of everything possible in this world 鈥 yet this is the sort of remark that has long been stored deep inside the sealed Pandora's box of the Western tradition ...
The information-theoretic formulation of SURD is also well-suited for capturing nonlinear dependencies, as well as deterministic and stochastic interactions, and self-causation. The forward propagation of information from Equation (1) also lays the foundation for normalizing causality within SURD. Unique...
