Vol. 161 No. 1 (2020): Causality

Gilles Celeux, editor of the Journal de la Société Française de Statistique, invited us 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 then invited renowned experts of the field who, by and large, accepted enthusiastically to contribute the piece we requested from them.

The special issue contains nine articles and 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. We hope you will enjoy it.
