Causality: a Statistical View

Statistical aspects of causality are reviewed in simple form and the impact of recent work discussed. Three distinct notions of causality are set out and implications for densities and for linear dependencies explained. The importance of appreciating the possibility of effect modifiers is stressed, be they intermedi ate variables, background variables or unobserved confounders. In many contexts...

a generalization of strong causality

در این رساله t_n - علیت قوی تعریف می شود. این رده ها در جدول علیت فضا- زمان بین علیت پایدار و علیت قوی قرار دارند. یک قضیه برای رده بندی آنها ثابت می شود و t_n- علیت قوی با رده های علی کارتر مقایسه می شود. همچنین ثابت می شود که علیت فشرده پایدار از t_n - علیت قوی نتیجه می شود. بعلاوه به بررسی رابطه نظریه دامنه ها با نسبیت عام می پردازیم و ثابت می کنیم که نوع خاصی از فضا- زمان های علی پایدار, ب...

Hume’s Considered View on Causality

Hume presents two definitions of cause in his Enquiry which correspond to his two definitions in his Treatise. The first of the definitions is ontological and the second is psychological; indeed, the definitions are extensionally and intensionally distinct. The critical mistake of the skeptical interpretation is the assumption that the two definitions are equivalent, and the critical mistake of...

Causality, Conditional Exogeneity, and Granger Causality

We relate notions of structural causality and conditional exogeneity as de…ned in White and Chalak (2006) (WC) to the concept of Granger causality. We show that given conditional exogeneity, structural non-causality implies retrospective Granger non-causality, an extension of the classical Granger (1969) non-causality condition. We also provide a form of converse to this result and tests for re...
