Foundations of Causal Inference
Causal inference is usually concerned with exploring causal relations among random variables X1, . . . , Xn after observing sufficiently many samples drawn from the joint probability distribution. The formal basis is the Causal Markov Condition stating that every variable is conditionally statistically independent of its nondescendants, given its parents with respect to the directed acyclic gra...
متن کاملFoundations of Inference
We present a simple and clear foundation for finite inference that unites and significantly extends the approaches of Kolmogorov and Cox. Our approach is based on quantifying lattices of logical statements in a way that satisfies general lattice symmetries. With other applications such as measure theory in mind, our derivations assume minimal symmetries, relying on neither negation nor continui...
متن کاملThe Foundations of Causal Inference
This paper reviews recent advances in the foundations of causal inference and introduces a systematic methodology for defining, estimating, and testing causal claims in experimental and observational studies. It is based on nonparametric structural equation models (SEM)—a natural generalization of those used by econometricians and social scientists in the 1950s and 1960s, which provides a coher...

The field of statistics includes two major paradigms: frequentist and Bayesian. Bayesian methods provide a complete paradigm for both statistical inference and decision making under uncertainty. Bayesian methods may be derived from an axiomatic system and provide a coherentmethodology which makes it possible to incorporate relevant initial information, and which solvesmany of the difficulties w...
