I don't know whether Marquis wheat was fed to the tribbles in Star Trek but it would certainly add to the story. <br /><br />If I knew how to understand causality, I'd tell you. Heterogeneity and complexity seem to be huge stumbling blocks.

By deep, I mean relationships that are generally indirect or non-deterministic (like so-called deep learning). Agreed, you don't see that consideration much in high-throughput studies. Considering that big genomic data yields many more loose associations than causal phenomena, it is quite surprising.<br /><br />BTW, wasn't Marquis Wheat what they fed the tribbles in Star Trek?Bradly Aliceahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482487682656113637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-68557563254195193912014-01-14T08:12:04.525-05:002014-01-14T08:12:04.525-05:00Thanks for writing this Anne!
