| Abstract
|
:
|
"By emphasizing causation as a functional relation between variables describing objects, with a variable a synthesis of a set of mutually exclusive attributes, Linear Causal Modeling with Structural Equations integrates a general philosophical theory of causation with structural equation modeling (SEM), focusing on the special case of linear causal relations. In addition to describing how the functional relation concept may be generalized to probabilistic causation, the book reviews historical treatments of causation and recent developments in experimental psychology on studies of the perception of causation. It stresses hypothesis testing to acquire objective knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.
