Re: [RC] Are the LD's feeding 50's? - Truman PrevattWho said anything about causation? All any statistical analysis can do is to either estimate the underlying parameters of a population or to determine the probability a hypothesis concerning a population is correct/incorrect.Prediction causation is best left to the philosophers and theologians. Truman Diane Trefethen wrote: No matter what one's opinion is on LDs, please do not make the mistake of violating the most basic caveat of statistical analysis, ie, correlation equals causation. -- “Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science.
