There is also a book Causality by McKay Illari and Russo in addition to Pearl's. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 21:13 | comment | added | Bumble | There have been a few attempts, but it is notoriously difficult to do. The most comprehensive work I know of can be found in Judea Pearl's book, Causailty (2009). Pearl's approach uses a version of probability theory augmented by a do() operator. He uses directed graphs to distinguish causal from evidential relationships. | |
