Not at all. What it does mean is that we need to apply care. One way of doing so is by thinking probabilistically: if gunpowder has exploded under these conditions every time in the past, it is very likely that gunpowder will explode under these conditions in the future; similarly, if e...
What does a significant difference mean in science? Describe the significance of p53. Provide a hypothesis of research that could be conducted to further investigate the effectiveness of p53. In the experiments done with laccase, describe the purpose of statistical analysis. ...
The field of Causal inference deals with the question of “How does X affect Y?”. While ML practices include procedures that can potentially shed light on the topic, they are generally not well suited to give a concise and correct answer. To see why that’s the case, let’s review how...

What does the theory of punctuated equilibrium mean? What are some examples of global warming causes? Why should a hypothesis be developed before an experiment? How does a good experimental conclusion differ from an inference? How does hypothesis testing contribute to scientific knowledge?
What does statistical inference mean in this context?Although we are taught to infer to a well-defined population from a sample, or from a sample of outcomes to a model of such outcomes, in a randomized experiment the most basic and important inference is between the trea...
Two sets of conceptual questions are prominent in theoretical engage- ments with artificial neural networks, especially in the context of medical artificial intelligence: (1) Are networks explainable, and if so, what does it mean to explain the output of a network? And (2) what does it mean...
Each day people make decisions about complex topics such as health and personal finances. Causal models of these domains have been created to aid decisions, but the resulting models are often complex and it is not known whether people can use them succes
