Written by one of the preeminent researchers in the field, this
book provides a comprehensive exposition of modern analysis of
causation. It shows how causality has grown from a nebulous concept
into a mathematical theory with significant applications in the
fields of statistics, artificial intelligence, economics,
philosophy, cognitive science, and the health and social sciences.
Judea Pearl presents and unifies the probabilistic, manipulative,
counterfactual, and structural approaches to causation and devises
simple mathematical tools for studying the relationships between
causal connections and statistical associations. The book will open
the way for including causal analysis in the standard curricula of
statistics, artificial intelligence, business, epidemiology, social
sciences, and economics. Students in these fields will find natural
models, simple inferential procedures, and precise mathematical
definitions of causal concepts that traditional texts have evaded
or made unduly complicated. The first edition of Causality has led
to a paradigmatic change in the way that causality is treated in
statistics, philosophy, computer science, social science, and
economics. Cited in more than 5,000 scientific publications, it
continues to liberate scientists from the traditional molds of
statistical thinking. In this revised edition, Judea Pearl
elucidates thorny issues, answers readers questions, and offers a
panoramic view of recent advances in this field of research.
Causality will be of interests to students and professionals in a
wide variety of fields. Anyone who wishes to elucidate meaningful
relationships from data, predict effects of actions and policies,
assess explanations of reported events, or form theories of causal
understanding and causal speech will find this book stimulating and
invaluable."
