Does Smartphone Use Drive our Emotions or vice versa? A Causal Analysis
International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2020 In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of a bidirectional causal relationship between smartphone application use and user emotions. In a two-week long in-the-wild study with 30 participants we captured 502,851 instances of smartphone application use

Causal Mediation Analysis [PDF]
The Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2011 Estimating the mechanisms that connect explanatory variables with the explained variable, also known as “mediation analysis,” is central to a variety of social-science fields, especially psychology, and increasingly to fields like epidemiology. Recent work on the statistical methodology behind mediation analysis points to limitations in earlier ...

Biolinguistics or Physicolinguistics? Is the Third Factor Helpful or Harmful in Explaining Language?
Biolinguistics, 2013 Noam Chomsky (2005) proposed that a ‘third factor’, consisting of general principles and natural laws, may explain core properties of language in a principled manner, minimizing the need for either genetic endowment or experience.

Quantitative and causal analysis for inflammatory genes and the risk of Parkinson’s disease
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 BackgroundThe dysfunction of immune system and inflammation contribute to the Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. Cytokines, oxidative stress, neurotoxin and metabolism associated enzymes participate in neuroinflammation in PD and the genes involved ...

Power Analysis for Causal Discovery
International Journal of Data Science and Analytics, 2022 Abstract Causal discovery algorithms have the potential to impact many fields of science. However, substantial foundational work on the statistical properties of causal discovery algorithms is still needed. This paper presents what is to our knowledge the first method for conducting power analysis for causal discovery algorithms.

Causal analysis in control–impact ecological studies with observational data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Randomized experiments have long been the gold standard in determining causal effects in ecological control–impact studies. However, it may be difficult to address many ecologically and policy‐relevant control–impact questions‐such as the effect of ...

A controlled transfer entropy approach to detect asymmetric interactions in heterogeneous systems
Journal of Physics: Complexity, 2023 Transfer entropy is emerging as the statistical approach of choice to support the inference of causal interactions in complex systems from time-series of their individual units.
