Periodontitis and Hypertension: Is the Association Causal? [PDF]

open access: yesHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2020
High blood pressure (BP) and periodontitis are two highly prevalent conditions worldwide with a significant impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications. Poor periodontal health is associated with increased prevalence of hypertension and may have an influence on BP control.

Delay and knowledge mediation in human causal reasoning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Contemporary theories of causal induction have focussed largely on the question of how evidence in the form of covariations between causes and effects is used to compute measures of causal strength.

Cue interaction and judgments of causality: Contributions of causal and associative processes [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & Cognition, 2004
In four experiments, the predictions made by causal model theory and the Rescorla-Wagner model were tested by using a cue interaction paradigm that measures the relative response to a given event based on the influence or salience of an alternative event.

Assessing causal associations of hyperparathyroidism with blood counts and biochemical indicators: a Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
BackgroundThe existing literature on the relationship of hyperparathyroidism with both blood counts and biochemical indicators primarily comprises observational studies, which have produced inconsistent findings.

Mendelian randomization analysis suggests no associations of human herpes viruses with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundThe causal associations between infections with human herpes viruses (HHVs) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been disputed. This study investigated the causal associations between herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella-zoster virus ...

Causal Associative Classification

open access: yes2011 IEEE 11th International Conference on Data Mining, 2011
Associative classifiers have received considerable attention due to their easy to understand models and promising performance. However, with a high dimensional dataset, associative classifiers inevitably face two challenges: (1) how to extract a minimal set of strong predictive rules from an explosive number of generated association rules, and (2) how ...

Causation, Association, and Confirmation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Many philosophers of science have argued that a set of evidence that is "coherent" confirms a hypothesis which explains such coherence. In this paper, we examine the relationships between probabilistic models of all three of these concepts: coherence ...

Associative foundation of causal learning in rats [PDF]

open access: yesLearning & Behavior, 2012
Are humans unique in their ability to interpret exogenous events as causes? We addressed this question by observing the behavior of rats for indications of causal learning. Within an operant motor-sensory preconditioning paradigm, associative surgical techniques revealed that rats attempted to control an outcome (i.e., a potential effect) by ...
