On the Causality and K-Causality between Measures [PDF]
Drawing from the optimal transport theory adapted to the Lorentzian setting, we propose and study the extension of the Sorkin–Woolgar causal relation K + onto the space of Borel probability measures on a given spacetime.

Information geometry has offered a way to formally study the efficacy of scientific models by quantifying the impact of model parameters on the predicted effects. However, there has been little formal investigation of causation in this framework, despite causal models being a fundamental part of science and explanation.

Abstract We show how uncertainty in the causal structure of field theory is essentially inevitable when one includes quantum gravity. This includes the fact that lightcones are ill-defined in such a theory. This effect is small in the effective field theory regime, where it is independent of the UV completion of the theory, but ...

Causal versions of maximum entropy and principle of insufficient reason
The principle of insufficient reason (PIR) assigns equal probabilities to each alternative of a random experiment whenever there is no reason to prefer one over the other.

Thyroid hormone: sex-dependent role in nervous system regulation and disease
Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates many functions including metabolism, cell differentiation, and nervous system development. Alteration of thyroid hormone level in the body can lead to nervous system-related problems linked to cognition, visual attention ...

Identify the characteristic in the evolution of the causality between the gold and dollar
The causal inference method based on the time-series analysis has been subject to intense scrutiny, by which the interaction has been revealed between gold and the dollar.

Causal structures and causal boundaries [PDF]
We give an up-to-date perspective with a general overview of the theory of causal properties, the derived causal structures, their classification and applications, and the definition and construction of causal boundaries and of causal symmetries, mostly for Lorentzian manifolds but also in more abstract settings.

Genetically Predicted Causality of 28 Gut Microbiome Families and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Risk
Mounting evidence indicates that gut microbiome may be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there is no consensus on whether there is a causal link between gut microbiome and T2DM risk.

Causal Factors, Causal Inference, Causal Explanation [PDF]
s from how likely it is that the person is a smoker in the first place. More generally, the trouble is that the likelihood principle aims to by-pass decisions about prior probabilities. Perhaps there are some inferential contexts where such decisions can sensibly be avoided. But the inference from Harry's heart attack to his smoking isn't one of them. (
