Day #1 #studyingCausality by @yudapearl, since this is a research project have to get my hands dirty & find existing code for implementing causal graphical models: DONE! library: github.com/ijmbarr/causal… code, tutorial: degeneratestate.org/posts/2018/Jul… by Iain Barr 
@yudapearl Day #1 #studyingCausality p1-6 Intro to Probability Theory 2 reasons causality analysis starts w/prob 1. uncertainty of everyday situations where type 'causes' are usually in between, not necessary, nor sufficient 2. prob theory can handle exceptions unlike common causal language
@yudapearl Day #1 #studyingCausality (1.10) P(A) is shorthand 4 P(A|K) with larger context K of background assumptions (1.11), question: technically context change (shrinkage/growth) can be handled with 1 conditional prob or nested cases might apply w/larger contexts factored in separately?
