Causal Analysis in Theory and Practice

Dear blogger,

A few causality-related papers have recently been posted on my website:

• R-357: J. Pearl, “On Measurement Bias in Causal Inference,” http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r357.pdf
• R-358: J. Pearl, “On the Consistency Rule in Causal Inference: An Axiom, Definition, Assumption, or a Theorem?,” http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r358.pdf
• R-359: J. Pearl, “Physical and Metaphysical Counterfactuals,” http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r359.pdf
• R-360: J. Pearl, “If Oswald Hadn’t Used Counterfactuals, My Robot Would Have,” http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r360.pdf
• R-361: S. Greenland and J. Pearl, “Causal Diagrams,” http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r361.pdf

As usual, comments, reservations and objections are most welcome, and can be posted on this forum.

And may that every brilliant thought be put to some good cause.
