- Houshalter 10y agoLooking at the wikipedia page, it looks like a crude form of bayes nets. I'm talking about testing all possible causal structures, and seeing which ones fit the data the best.

- Houshalter 10y agoThat's irrelevant. I'm suggesting testing a limited number of possible hypotheses, all of which are very plausible possibilities. In any case, bayesian inference is immune to this kind of overfitting. It will give you a set of models and their probability, given some reasonable prior.

- Houshalter 10y agoAnd the same to you. You know nothing about me. I don't know why you get off insulting random people.
