What about causality?

Correlation in itself doesn't prove causality.

It's very much about this causality, consequences.

There is also the issue of reverse causality.

All we're playing with is a tempo causality.

But causality might also run in the opposite direction.

Nothing I'm saying here implies causality. I don't know.

That we could understand the causality of the mental illnesses.

And the biggest problem here is accounting for possible reverse causality.

So whatever is responsible for this cancellation is extremely tightly coupled with tempo causality.

This would be helped greatly by a more systematic collection of casualty and causality data.

When you think about you know, creativity has a lot to do with causality too.

Many an econometrician s career has been built on finding a clever way to establish the direction of causality.

It noted that a particular strength of the book is its outline of the scientific method and the basic principles of probability and causality, and its coverage of the difficulty of explaining science to the public, such as the difference between causality and coincidence.

Whatever the reason for the observed positive cross country correlation between income and democracy, it should not be confused with causality.

So, why not let evidence, rather than theory, guide policy? Unfortunately, it is hard to get clear cut evidence of causality.

There is no effect without a cause, and to deny the principle of causality amounts to deferring our problems and never solving them.

General studies There have been few studies of the causality of women's behavior and interests, when they do not match the female gender role.

In other words, precisely because occasional traders trade rarely, it is much easier to prove the nexus of causality between their trades and an illegal tip.

One would then find that government spending cuts or tax hikes tend to be followed by bad economic times, even if the causality runs the other way.

A more fundamental question is causality the state of the economy certainly affects the fiscal position, just as taxation, spending, deficits, and debts may affect economic growth.

If thought of in terms of causality or cause and effect, the higher a person's expectation and the lower the execution, the higher the frustration level may become.

Whatever the reason for the observed positive cross country correlation between income and democracy, it should not be confused with causality. Being democratic does not seem important in securing economic success.

Traditional reductionist views of science, with their focus on bottom up mechanisms, do not suffice in the quest to understand top down and circular causality and a world of nested processes.

Meanwhile, this report makes it now clearer that this phenomenon is embedded in a global chain of causality and that its impact is felt far beyond the boundaries of affected areas.

In order to determine causality, it is important to hold the variable that is assumed to cause the change in the other variable(s) constant and then measure the changes in the other variable(s).

Unfortunately, it is hard to get clear cut evidence of causality. If high national debt is associated with slow economic growth, is it because excessive debt impedes growth, or because slow growth causes countries to accumulate more debt?

A proper historical analysis would help to identify cases in which debt was incurred for reasons other than the state of the economy, so that causality arguably runs from debt to growth, rather than the other way around.

Experimental and observational studies A common goal for a statistical research project is to investigate causality, and in particular to draw a conclusion on the effect of changes in the values of predictors or independent variables on dependent variables or response.

Attributions of causality refer to an individual s pattern of beliefs that relapse to drug use is a result of internal, or rather external, transient causes (e.g., allowing oneself to make exceptions when faced with what are judged to be unusual circumstances).

As the baby hears a word in her language the auditory areas light up, and then subsequently areas surrounding it that we think are related to coherence, getting the brain coordinated with its different areas, and causality, one brain area causing another to activate.

It is possible, Ramey argues, that their results could reflect a different sort of reverse causality if governments are more likely to respond to high public debt levels with austerity programs when they have reason to believe that economic conditions could make the debt burden especially worrisome.

If samples of tumours from radiation exposed human groups were to be systematically stored, they would then be a very important resource for future studies on oncogenic mechanisms and for the establishment of causality between cancer in the population and physical or chemical carcinogens in the environment.
