Mendelian randomization indicates causal effects of estradiol levels on kidney function in males

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
ContextChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health burden worldwide. Epidemiological studies observed an association between sex hormones, including estradiol, and kidney function.ObjectiveWe conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess a

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. (

Review of mendelian randomization studies on age at natural menopause

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Menopause marks the end of the reproductive phase of life. Based on epidemiological studies, abnormal age at natural menopause (ANM) is thought to contribute to a number of adverse outcomes, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer ...

Causality, Causal Discovery, and Causal Inference in Structural Engineering

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Much of our experiments are designed to uncover the cause(s) and effect(s) behind a data generating mechanism (i.e., phenomenon) we happen to be interested in. Uncovering such relationships allows us to identify the true working of a phenomenon and, most importantly, articulate a model that may enable us to further explore the phenomenon on hand and/or

A homogeneous approach to testing for Granger non-causality in heterogeneous panels

open access: yesEmpirical Economics, 2020
This paper develops a new method for testing for Granger non-causality in panel data models with large cross-sectional (N) and time series (T) dimensions. The method is valid in models with homogeneous or heterogeneous coefficients.

Perceived locus of causality and internalization: examining reasons for acting in two domains.

open access: yesJournal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1989
Theories of internalization typically suggest that self-perceptions of the "causes" of (i.e. reasons for) behavior are differentiated along a continuum of autonomy that contains identifiable gradations.
