- Summary:
- Causal ideas permeate the use of probability and statistics in all branches of industry, commerce, government, and science. "The Art of Causal Conjecture" shows that causal ideas can be equally important in theory. It does not challenge the maxim that causation cannot be proven from statistics alone, but by bringing causal ideas into the foundations of probability, it allows causal conjectures to be more clearly quantified, debated, and confronted by statistical evidence.
