This book offers the theory of causal analysis and its applications. The authors have developed this book in relation to its applications to four climatological phenomena to prove the theory of causal analysis in time sequential data analysis. Local Causal Test and the Partial Causal Test are used to study the theory of causal analysis. These are then applied to understand the climate effects... Read more
