How, up coming, might i establish ‘real causation by using the structural equations framework?
(8) An adjustable Y counterfactually relies on an adjustable X inside the a great design if and only when it is actually the case you to X = x and you may Y = y and there can be found opinions x? ? x and you can y? ? y in a manner that substitution this new equation to have X having X = x? efficiency Y = y?.
An adjustable Y (distinct from X and you will Z) was advanced between X and you will Z when the and simply if this is part of particular route anywhere between X and you may Z
Of course, so far we just have something we are calling a ‘causal model, ?V, E?; we havent been told anything about how to extract causal information from it. Continue reading
