This post is slightly longish and a bit wonkish, but important. It is summed up in a quote of Andrew Gelman that is cited in the argument.Much of the literature in statistics, econometrics, and epidemiology on causal identification misses this point, by focusing on the procedures of scientific investigation—in particular, tools such as randomization and p-values which are intended to enforce rigor—without recognizing that rigor is empty without something to be rigorous about.In short, process (method) ends up getting confused with substance (fact).Cause causality is a bitch.Lars P.
