Stable Causal Relationships are Better Causal Relationships

We report two experiments investigating whether people’s judgments about causal relationships are sensitive to the robustness or stability of such relationships across a wide range of background circumstances. We demonstrate that people prefer stable causal relationships even when overall causal strength is held constant, and we show that this effect is unlikely to be driven by a causal general...

Exploring Causal Relationships with Streaming Features

Causal discovery is highly desirable in science and technology. In this paper, we study a new research problem of discovery of causal relationships in the context of streaming features, where the features steam in one by one. With a Bayesian network to represent causal relationships, we propose a novel algorithm called causal discovery from streaming features (CDFSF) which consists of a two-pha...

Learning Causal Relationships

How ought we learn causal relationships? While Popper advocated a hypothetico-deductive logic of causal discovery, inductive accounts are currently in vogue. Many inductive approaches depend on the causal Markov condition as a fundamental assumption. This condition, I maintain, is not universally valid, though it is justifiable as a default assumption. In which case the results of the inductive...

Exploring the Causal Relationships between Initial Opioid Prescriptions and Outcomes

Addiction to opioid medications has become an epidemic affecting millions of Americans; drug overdoses accounted for more deaths than car crashes or gun violence in 2015. Oftentimes, the addiction begins when patients continue to take opioids for pain management beyond the required need.
