Er, well, it’s kinda slowed to a halt recently (I know I’ve been silly-busy) but I plan to try and kick something into motion in about a week.
Note: I have said that before. Also, you can look at the workflowy list and contact the people who are looking for people to work alongside on a similar topic.
You can’t get in? Oops. I’ll have a look at editing that… I’ll reply once I’ve done it.
Does anyone want to make a small study group to read one of these books at a relatively slow pace?
Causality: Models, Reasoning and Inference
Probability Theory: The Logic of Science (Gelman has been recommended over Jaynes here I’m flexible but I’d rather read Jaynes)
Martin Peterson—An Introduction to Decision Theory
Anything else similar/LW relevant
I’ve been meaning to read these (which I learned about from LW) for a long time and just now have the time.
Causality looks like the best option: the entire first edition is freely avaiable on Pearls site here. There is an overview of 2nd ed. chapters here
I’ve been meaning to read Causality for a long time now: I’d be interested.
Do you have any views on edition 1 vs edition 2? My library doesn’t have ed 2 so I’m wondering whether the differences are important.
Not quite sure what you’re asking: I haven’t read either, so I don’t really have anything to say about the two?

How is that going?
Also despite it saying one doesn’t need an account, I can’t actually view the facebook page.
