Subject: Re: ML for MI

Agreed and a very good point. ML will identify patterns and correlations in data without actually establishing causal relationships. But hopefully if the same ML patterns are determined in multiple time periods with different universes of samples there will be a greater probability that the observed relationships will be causal.

I'm not proclaiming to have the answer, but as I said I still experimenting.
