Dear collegues in causality research, 1. I am pleased to announce that the 2nd Edition of Causality is out now (I saw a real copy), and should hit your bookstore any day. Thanks for waiting patiently, and I apologize for not having books to sign at the JSM meeting in DC. 2. You may be pleased to know that, after a long and heated discussion on Anrew Gelman's website, a provisional resolution (truce?) has been declared on the question: Is there such a thing as overadjustment? See ... http://www.mii.ucla.edu/causality/?p=70 3. A new survey paper, gently summarizing everything I know about causation (in only 43 pages) is now posted at http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r350.pdf Comments are welcome.
4. A new paper answering the question: "When are two measurements equally valuable for effect estimation?" has been posted on http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r343-short.pdf Confession: It is really a neat result. Wishing you a fruitful new school year and may clarity reign in causality land. =======Judea Pearl http://www.mii.ucla.edu/causality _______________________________________________ uai mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
