A special issue of Journal de la Société Française de Statistique

Abstract

Invited by Gilles Celeux, editor of the Journal de la Société Française de Statistique, to edit a special issue of the journal devoted to causality, we conceived the special issue as a structured collection of articles covering a
large spectrum of this exciting topic. Renowned experts of the field contribute nine articles. The special issue unfolds in three parts. Part 1 discusses causality from an epistemological stance. Part 2 discusses the notions of causal models, causal quantities and identifiability. Part 3 discusses the inference of causal quantities.
