causal analysis

causal analysis

an attempt to draw dependable inferences about cause-and-effect relationships from research data. Encompassing a variety of methods (e.g., path analysis, structural equation modeling), such analyses differ in the degree to which they are statistically complex and the degree to which causal inferences from them are, in fact, justified.
