Cox, D. R. Causality: Some statistical aspects. (English) Zbl 1002.62502 J. R. Stat. Soc., Ser. A 155, No. 2, 291-301 (1992). Summary: After some brief historical comments on statistical aspects of causality two current views are outlined and their limitations sketched. One definition is that causality is a statistical association that cannot be explained away by confounding variables and the other is based on a link with notions in the design of experiments. The importance of underlying processes or mechanisms is stressed. Implications for empirical statistical analysis are discussed.
