Statistical causality and adapted distribution
In the paper D.Hoover, J. Keisler : Adapted probability distributions, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 286 (1984), 159–201 the notion of adapted distribution of two stochastic processes was introduced, which in a way represents the notion of equivalence of those processes. This very important property is hard to prove directly, so we continue the work of Keisler and Hoover in finding sufficient conditi...
متن کاملCausality: 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...
متن کاملFundamentals of Statistical Causality
2 Preface Traditionally, Statistics has been concerned with uncovering and describing associations, and statisticians have been wary of causal interpretations of their findings. But users of Statistics have rarely had such qualms. For otherwise what is it all for? The enterprise of " Statistical Causality " has developed to take such concerns seriously. It has led to the introduction of a varie...
متن کاملCausality and Unification: How Causality Unifies Statistical Regularities
Two key ideas of scientific explanation −explanation as causal information and explanation as unification– have frequently been set into mutual opposition. This paper proposes a “dialectical solution” to this conflict, by arguing that causal explanations are preferable to non-causal ones, because they lead to a higher degree of unification at the level of explaining statistical regularities. Th...
متن کاملCausality, Statistical Learning and Multiple Alignment
In what follows, I shall first define the meanings of ‘cause’ and ‘effect’ as they will be understood in this paper. Then I will review the ICMAUS concepts as they have been developed in this programme of research, including a section on the quantification of IC in the context of ICMAUS. The following two sections will consider, first, how the learning of causal connections may be understood in...
