Of course, correlation does not equal causation. But I am having trouble understanding if there is no correlation between two variables, would this indicate a lack of casual relationship between them as well?

If possible, I would really like an example to help wrap my head around this.

  • $\begingroup$ @Peter If $X\sim\text{Unif}(-1,1)$ and $Y=X^2$; then $\text{corr}(X,Y)=0$. Why couldn't that be causal? $\endgroup$ – Glen_b Mar 17 '19 at 5:28
  • $\begingroup$ @CarlosCinelli zero correlation is not the same as independence (which the first of your suggested duplicates asks about). However, the second one is relevant (via contraposition; if $A\implies B$ then $\lnot B \implies \lnot A$). $\endgroup$ – Glen_b Mar 17 '19 at 5:31
