Correlation CAN Imply Causation! | Statistics Misconceptions
推荐理由
A rough summary is available as a YouTube video
说明
这是2017年由minutephysics发布的一部讲解,主题归在Data science & statistics。它讲的是causal inference这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:A four-minute minutephysics video arguing that causal models and causal networks let statistics infer causation from correlation. It touches on Reichenbach's principle, common causes, feedback and quantum causal discovery.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:HN people link it as a short, accessible summary of Judea Pearl-style causal inference when someone repeats that correlation cannot imply causation.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2017年到2022年,有1位不同的读者在1个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比,比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把causal inference变成能跟着复述的例子。
