[FRIAM] causality

[Frank Wimberly]

David,

How have you been?  The CMU group that I worked in and Pearl's group at
UCLA worked in the same area.  As I recall, he invented the concept of
d-separation and our group created algorithms to use it in inferring causal
models based on observational data (i.e. not experimental).  My colleagues
were Spirtes, Glymour, and Scheines.

I will look for the book you mentioned.

Frank
