Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science: Contingency and alternative history In a sense, all novels are alternate histories, and the issue always arises whether they "couud have happened." Genre novels such as Mystic River or those of John Le Carre put in a lot of effort to place their stories within convincing backgrounds--and, in fact, creating these backgrounds is perhaps their main interest. Alternative history stories come in a number of flavors but a common feature of the best of the novels in this subgenre is that the alternate world is not "real." Alternative history--imaginings of different versions of this world that could have occurred if various key events in the past had been different--is a popular category of science fiction. www.stat.columbia.edu /~cook/movabletype/archives/2005/02/contingency_and.html   (805 words)
