Guest editor's introduction to "Evidence and mechanisms"
Epidemiological models and Covid-19: A comparative view
Epidemiological models have played a central role in the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly when urgent decisions were required and available evidence was sparse. They have been used to predict the evolution of the disease and to inform policy-making. In this paper, we address two kinds of epidemiological models widely used in the pandemic, namely, compartmental models and agent-based models. After describing their essentials-some real examples are …
Assessing the role of evidence of mechanisms in causal extrapolation
Extrapolation of causal claims from study populations to other populations of interest is a problematic issue. The standard approach in experimental research, which prioritises randomized controlled trials and statistical evidence, is not devoid of difficulties. Granted that, it has been defended that evidence of mechanisms is indispensable for causal extrapolation. We argue, contrarily, that this sort of evidence is not indispensable. Nonetheles…
Kuhn sobre la elección de teorías. Una discusión desde la metodología de la ciencia actual
According to Thomas Kuhn, theory-choice is guided by a set of shared values. However, scientists differ concerning the way these values are interpreted. They also differ about the respective weight given to those values. Kuhn’s conclusion is, then, that theory-choice is an inherently subjective decision. By taking into account recent methodological practice, this essay argues that subjectivism can be minimized. Model-selection and Bayesian infere…
