Causal inference is crucial in credit risk assessment methods.
Resumo
Causal inference, originating from various disciplines, plays a vital role in understanding personal credit risk assessment methods. The mathematical foundation of causal relationships remains a subject of debate, with ongoing efforts to unify existing methods and mathematical foundations. Top researchers from diverse fields convene to discuss the challenges and advancements in causal inference. Philosophical definitions of causation trace back to ancient Greek philosophy, emphasizing the interactions between atoms as causes of observable phenomena. Hume's philosophical contributions delve into the empirical versus rationalist debate, exploring the source of knowledge and beliefs. Modern empirical thinkers reflect on Hume's conception of causality, emphasizing necessity originating from human habits. Research on causality has evolved significantly influenced by science, especially physics, providing new insights into the mind-body relationship. The study of causal relationships extends to social science problems like labor market analysis through natural experiments and controlled trials.
