Fallibilism and Ontology in Tuukka Kaidesoja’s Critical Realist Social Ontology

Journal of Social Ontology, 2015
This article addresses Tuukka Kaidesoja’s critique of the philosophical presuppositions of Roy Bhaskar’s theories of critical realism. The article supports Kaidesoja’s naturalistic approach to the philosophy of the social sciences, including the field ...

Exploring the potential benefits of false discovery rates for region-based testing of association with rare genetic variation

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014
When analyzing the data arising from exome or whole-genome sequencing studies, window-based tests, i.e. tests that jointly analyze all genetic data in a small genomic region, are very popular.

Telling cause from effect in deterministic linear dynamical systems [PDF]

, 2015
Inferring a cause from its effect using observed time series data is a major challenge in natural and social sciences. Assuming the effect is generated by the cause trough a linear system, we propose a new approach based on the hypothesis that nature ...

Capabilities as causal powers [PDF]

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 2006
The author argues that Sen's capability approach is primarily a philosophical under-labouring exercise aimed at elaborating certain central economic categories, and that the philosophical and methodological underpinnings of Sen's approach are radically different from those of contemporary welfare economics and mainstream economic practice. Sen's notion

Do debit cards increase household spending? Evidence from a semiparametric causal analysis of a survey

, 2014
Motivated by recent findings in the field of consumer science, this paper evaluates the causal effect of debit cards on household consumption using population-based data from the Italy Survey on Household Income and Wealth (SHIW). Within the Rubin Causal

MARS: leveraging allelic heterogeneity to increase power of association testing

Genome Biology, 2021
In standard genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the standard association test is underpowered to detect associations between loci with multiple causal variants with small effect sizes.
