I am unaware of an applicable technical meaning of "connection". Does "connection" mean "causation" to you in a statistical context? If not, does it mean something stronger, weaker, or simply distinct? Is there a particular source for this meaning, like a style guide or technical work? (These are all honest questions; I like precision as much as the next scientific paper reader.)
- AndrewOMartin 11y agoI expect a usage of the word that means they had a evidence for a certain amount of the causation. It's a complicated universe so full causal explanations are pretty much always unattainable in the real world, but I'd hope for some identification and discussion of a mechanism.
