Correlation CAN Imply Causation! | Statistics Misconceptions

Have fun improving your math & physics skills! Head to https://brilliant.org/minutephysics/ Footnote video:    • Misconceptions Footnote †: Randomness and ...   This video is about how causal models (which use causal networks) allow us to infer causation from correlation, proving the common refrain not entirely accurate: statistics CAN be used to prove causality! Including: Reichenbach's principle, common causes, feedback, entanglement, EPR paradox, and so on.
