Do Reichenbachian Common Cause Systems of Arbitrary Finite Size Exist?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Foundations of Physics"
DOI: 10.1007/s10701-017-0124-1
Abstract: The principle of common cause asserts that positive correlations between causally unrelated events ought to be explained through the action of some shared causal factors. Reichenbachian common cause systems are probabilistic structures aimed at accounting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10701-020-00392-y
Abstract: Some researchers argued that in the non-existence proof of hidden variables, the existence of a common common-cause of multiple correlations is tacitly assumed and that the assumption is unreasonably strong. According to their idea, it… read more here.

The extended common cause: causal links between punctuated evolution and sedimentary processes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Paleobiology"
DOI: 10.1017/pab.2024.30
Abstract: Abstract The common-cause hypothesis says that factors regulating the sedimentary record also exert macroevolutionary controls on speciation, extinction, and biodiversity. I show through computational modeling that common cause factors can, in principle, also control microevolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036803
Abstract: Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common cause of hair loss characterized by excessive resting hair shedding. Thyroid dysfunction is one of the possible causes of TE. On the other hand, the link between thyroid disorder… read more here.
