EBM+ in The Reasoner
The Reasoner is a monthly digest highlighting exciting new research on reasoning, inference and method broadly construed. It is interdisciplinary, covering research in, e.g., philosophy, logic, AI, statistics, cognitive science, law, psychology, mathematics and the sciences. In this month’s issue you can find a piece introducing EBM+ written by yours truly. In addition, future issues will keep readers updated with recent relevant developments with a column titled “What’s hot in EBM+”. So readers of this blog might want to keep checking in with The Reasoner from time to time.
Special issue on evidence and causality published
Phyllis Illari & Federica Russo (eds.): Evidence and causality in the sciences. Special issue of Topoi, Volume 33, Issue 2, was published yesterday. It can be found here.
The collection of paper examines how we gain evidence of causality in various sciences.
Several papers examine evidence in medicine, including Barbara Osimani’s discussion of evidence of unintended effects; Jacob Stegenga’s arguments against the very idea of evidence hierarchies; Margaret MacDougall’s guide to when statistical evidence looks too good to be true, and Clarke, Gillies, Illari, Russo and Williamson’s examination of evidence of mechanism.
