  2. Exploratory causal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_causal_analysis

    Causal analysis is the field of experimental design and statistical analysis pertaining to establishing cause and effect. [1] [2] Exploratory causal analysis (ECA), also known as data causality or causal discovery [3] is the use of statistical algorithms to infer associations in observed data sets that are potentially causal under strict assumptions.

  3. Root cause analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_cause_analysis

    In science and engineering, root cause analysis (RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of faults or problems. [1] It is widely used in IT operations, manufacturing, telecommunications, industrial process control, accident analysis (e.g., in aviation, [2] rail transport, or nuclear plants), medical diagnosis, the healthcare industry (e.g., for epidemiology ...

  4. Causal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_analysis

    Causal analysis is the field of experimental design and statistics pertaining to establishing cause and effect. [1] Typically it involves establishing four elements: correlation, sequence in time (that is, causes must occur before their proposed effect), a plausible physical or information-theoretical mechanism for an observed effect to follow from a possible cause, and eliminating the ...

  5. Instrumental variables estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_variables...

    The idea was that a regression analysis could produce a demand or supply curve because they are formed by the path between prices and quantities demanded or supplied. The problem was that the observational data did not form a demand or supply curve as such, but rather a cloud of point observations that took different shapes under varying market ...

  6. Causal research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_research

    Causal research, is the investigation of (research into) cause-relationships. [1] [2] [3] To determine causality, variation in the variable presumed to influence the difference in another variable(s) must be detected, and then the variations from the other variable(s) must be calculated (s).

  7. Ishikawa diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishikawa_diagram

    Sample Ishikawa diagram shows the causes contributing to problem. The defect, or the problem to be solved, [1] is shown as the fish's head, facing to the right, with the causes extending to the left as fishbones; the ribs branch off the backbone for major causes, with sub-branches for root-causes, to as many levels as required.

  8. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between a dependent variable (often called the outcome or response variable, or a label in machine learning parlance) and one or more error-free independent variables (often called regressors, predictors, covariates, explanatory ...

  9. Endogeneity (econometrics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogeneity_(econometrics)

    The endogeneity problem is particularly relevant in the context of time series analysis of causal processes. It is common for some factors within a causal system to be dependent for their value in period t on the values of other factors in the causal system in period t − 1. Suppose that the level of pest infestation is independent of all ...
