She received a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Computer Science and Physics from New York University. Klappentext Presents a new approach to causal inference and explanation, addressing both the timing and complexity of relationships. Zusammenfassung This book presents a new approach to causal inference (finding relationships from a set of data) and explanation (assessing why a particular event occurred)! addressing both the timing and complexity of relationships. The practical use of the method developed is illustrated through theoretical and experimental case studies! demonstrating its feasibility and success. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction; 2.
