Nancy Cartwright and Bayes Net Methods: An Introduction
Clark Glymour · PhilSci-Archive (University of Pittsburgh) · 2007
Nancy Cartwright devotes half of her new book, Hunting Causes and Using Them, to critcizing "Bayes Net Methods"--as she calls them--and what she takes to be their assumptions. All of her critical claims are false or at best fractionally true. This paper reviews the literature she addresses but appears not to have met.
