This is great!
Tpyos:
Shortly after the sentence, "We could consider three hypothetical causal diagrams over only these two variables", one of the "Earthquake --> Recession" tables gives p(¬e) as 0.70 when it should be 0.71 (so it and 0.29 sum to one).
After the sentence, "So since all three variables are correlated, can we distinguish between, say, these three causal models?", this diagram I think is meant to have "Recession" on top and "Burglar" on the bottom. (Vaniver also noticed this one.)
Edit:
s/normal-weight/overweight/run on it. (And maybe have a sentence added saying that you're getting the rest of the following table by doing the same math on the other three sets of people grouped by weight and Internet usage.)Typo:
;-)This makes me thing "T Python Operating System".
Fixed.
Thanks.
The "marginalize over the 'exercise' variable" paragraph (mentioned in an edit to the grandparent) still seems to me to not match the tables.
Fixed! Thanks for being persistent.
