- Title
Statistics: Who's the driver?
- Abstract
The article focuses on the statistical technique in distinguishing the relation of causes and effects. According to Guido Nolte of the Fraunhofer FIRST Institute in Berlin, Germany, and his colleagues, a statistical technique called Granger causality can cause faulty assign causality. They depict a new method that relies on how phase differences between the driving and dependent variables alter with the ratio of the number of observations in a statistical category to the total number of observations of their variations.
