Statistics and causality: separated to reunite-commentary on Bryan Dowd's "separated at birth".
Bryan Dowd (2010) should be commended for laying before us the historical roots of the tensions between statisticians and econometricians which, until today, perpetuate the myth that causal inference is somehow confusing, enigmatic, or controversial. While modern analysis has proven this myth baseless, it is often the historical accounts that put things in the proper perspective. I see the tens...

متن کاملNeural development: Identical twins separated at birth?
A combination of time-lapse analysis of developing brain slices in vitro and the cloning of genes involved in determining cell fate has demonstrated the remarkable similarities between early neurogenetic events in vertebrates and invertebrates.
متن کاملNETS AND SEPARATED S-POSETS
Nets, useful topological tools, used to generalize certainconcepts that may only be general enough in the context of metricspaces. In this work we introduce this concept in an $S$-poset, aposet with an action of a posemigroup $S$ on it whichis a very useful structure in computer sciences and interestingfor mathematicians, and give the the concept of $S$-net. Using $S$-nets and itsconvergency we...
متن کاملSeparated finitely supported $Cb$-sets
The monoid $Cb$ of name substitutions and the notion of finitely supported $Cb$-sets introduced by Pitts as a generalization of nominal sets. A simple finitely supported $Cb$-set is a one point extension of a cyclic nominal set. The support map of a simple finitely supported $Cb$-set is an injective map. Also, for every two distinct elements of a simple finitely supported $Cb$-set, there exists...
