Stochastic independence, causal independence, and shieldability
Journal of Philosophical Logic 9 (1):73 - 99 (1980)
| Abstract | The aim of the paper is to explicate the concept of causal independence between sets of factors and Reichenbach's screening-off-relation in probabilistic terms along the lines of Suppes' probabilistic theory of causality (1970). The probabilistic concept central to this task is that of conditional stochastic independence. The adequacy of the explication is supported by proving some theorems about the explicata which correspond to our intuitions about the explicanda. | |||||||||
