It is, apparently, only a Humean notion of causation that needs the temporal identification of the cause and the effect.
This paper discusses the use of cancer incidence data in identification of cancer causation.
The increasing ease of obtaining whole-genome sequences emphasizes the importance of distinguishing genetic variants likely to contribute to disease risk which can in part be addressed by prior identification of candidate positions for disease causation (Cooper et al. 2010).
Adaptive management has explicit structure, including careful elucidation of goals, identification of alternative management objectives and hypotheses of causation, and procedures for the collection of data followed by evaluation and reiteration.
For questions involving drug risks and safety, it is the adverse effects profile that will guide the choice of study design, both for identification of the effect (signal) and assessment of causation.
Although later Ge-luk authors, who take causality and the time-gap problem it involves seriously, adopt the causation model, they mostly preserve Cha-ba's typology, together with the identification of grasped object and appearing object.
The aim of this paper is to contribute to the process robustness against crises through the identification and evaluation of relevant HR crises and their causations in hospitals.
This identification, however, would seem to rule out many cases of prevention and causation by omission, as argued forcefully by Schaffer (2000).
The identification of a microbial species through its genome alone does not establish causation.
