Caus ation has been considered by philosophers\, religious scholars\, mathemati cians\, for millennia but only recently in ways that are amenable to study with the larger datasets that are available to researchers today. In the last several decades\, statisticians have developed a framework to help gu ide data analyses that can help to understand whether observed relationshi ps learned from data may be “real” or not. I will touch on some historical views of causation\, and explain an approach that is used by statistician s to design valid analyses.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20181206T230000Z DTEND:20181207T000000Z LOCATION:Auditorium\, Redpath Museum\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0C4\, 859 r ue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Cutting Edge Lecture in Science: Did this make that happen?
