@slrellison Well... strictly speaking it isn't. It could be that the relationship is causal but nonlinear (Anscombe's quartet) or that it is masked by another factor...

@Pat (This being said, causal inference is very difficult to apply to the question of money and happiness because there is a lot of potential confounds. This doesn't mean that we can't conclude anything but that the answer may not be black and white)

@Pat Yes the mathematical framework of causal inference is very useful (I know it quite wel, as a matter of fact I have been using it on my own data). I'm not claiming that only randomised controlled trials can provide evidence about causality... only that Killingsworth Kahneman and Mellers didn't do their job properly

I just discovered that that all #CNRS members (so basically everyone in a CNRS lab) have access to a version of the online #LaTeX editor #Overleaf with no restriction on the number of collaborators on a project and on the compilation timeout. https://plmlatex.math.cnrs.fr/project I haven't tried it yet but it seems pretty handy (it's based on the open source version of Overleaf so the interface looks very similar).

@Gilles_Amjd Oui Premier contact je l'ai mis dans ma partie linguistique, mais c'est vrai que ça parle fondamentalement de perception. Quant à On est fait pour s'entendre... je suis étonné de savoir que quelqu'un d'autre que moi a vu ce film ! (tout à fait mineur, mais qui a le mérite d'être rigoureux, audiologiquement parlant)

Preparing my #psychoacoustics course for next year, I try to incorporate a maximum number of #cinema references... Movie lovers, I'm seeking recommendations for #films exploring #perception, #hearing, or perceptual #experiments! (Here's a thread of the ideas I have collected so far: https://qoto.org/@leovarnet/110819521532563300) #cinemastodon #movies #Filmastodon #FilmSuggestions #movies

Tired of these studies overstating the results by confusing #correlation and #causation. A recent #PNAS paper (co-authored by D. Kahneman!) starts with the question "can money buy happiness?"... and does no offer any evidence of a #causal relationship https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2023/08/01/studying-average-associations-between-income-and-survey-responses-on-happiness-be-careful-about-deterministic-and-causal-interpretations-that-are-not-supported-by-these-data/ #stats #statistics #correlationisnotcausation

@Pat oui... Mais là on s'éloigne un peu du cinéma

@Pat Merci pour les idées ! Je ne connais pas Lawnmower man, je vais regarder ça ! C'est vrai que le thème est un peu large, il mérite d'être précisé...!

En train de préparer mon cours de #psychoacoustique pour l'année prochaine... avec toujours un maximum d'illustrations de #cinéma. Si vous avez des idées de films qui parlent de #perception, d'#audition ou d'expériences de #psychophysique, je suis preneur ! #Cinema #cinemastodon #movies #Filmastodon
