Twardy A Criterion of Probabilistic Causation* 2004 24 .pdf application/pdf 9018 676 59 We argue that only objective homogeneity in combination with a causal interpretation of Bayesian networks can provide the desired criterion of probabilistic causality. of Salmon (1980) and Suppes (1970), made clear that we need to discriminate among purported causal factors, all of which have a probabilistic impact on an effect, ruling out those which are screened off by Objective Homogeneity Thesis (OHT): C is causally relevant to E in 1. Positive case: C raises the probability of E in all objectively homogeneous cells. fully specified complexes of causal factors, which are unnatural and unwieldy; DupreĢ and Cartwright contend that homogeneity does not work in When we identify homogeneous reference classes we are considering holding fixed all causally relevant factors prior to the one in question. OHT to incorporate downstream events, since, after all, observing Pregnancy in the neutral Hesslow case reveals the causal connection between Probabilistic dependency in an objectively homogeneous context is an ./cache/work_2f4vq6zjn5geblrkbc4mpn3zou.pdf ./txt/work_2f4vq6zjn5geblrkbc4mpn3zou.txt
