Inference

Strong inference

In philosophy of science, strong inference is a model of scientific inquiry that emphasizes the need for alternative hypotheses, rather than a single hypothesis to avoid confirmation bias. The term "strong inference" was coined by John R. Platt, a biophysicist at the University of Chicago. Platt notes that some fields, such as molecular biology and high-energy physics, seem to adhere strongly to strong inference, with very beneficial results for the rate of progress in those fields.

Causal Inference Introduction

Causal Inference is a set of tools used to scientifically prove cause and effect, very commonly used in economics and medicine. This series will go over the basics that any data scientist should understand about causal inference - and point them to the tools they would need to perform it.

Assumptions - Causal Inference

In this video, I introduce the most important assumptions in casual inference that we use in order to avoid mistakes such as presuming association and causation to be one and the same, among others: - Positivity - SUTVA - Large Sample Size - Double Blinded - No Measurement Error - Exchan

Assembly Bias as a Challenge to Infering the Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection - Andrew Zentner

Andrew Zentner - September 25, 2015 http://sns.ias.edu/~baldauf/Bias/index.html The interpretation of low-redshift galaxy surveys is more complicated than the interpretation of CMB temperature anisotropies. First, the matter distribution evolves nonlinearly at low redshift, limiting the
