The most commonly used models for causal inference are Rubin Causal Model (RCM; Rubin 1978) and Causal Diagram (Pearl 1995). Pearl (2000) introduced the equivalence of these two models, but in terms of application, RCM is more accurate, while Causal Diagram is more intuitive, which is highly praised by computer experts.

Donald Bruce Rubin (born December 22, 1943) is an Emeritus Professor of Statistics at Harvard University. He is most well known for the Rubin causal model, a set of methods designed for causal inference with observational data, and for his methods for dealing with missing data.

Judea Pearl (born September 4, 1936) is an Israeli-American computer scientist and philosopher, best known for championing the probabilistic approach to artificial intelligence and the development of Bayesian networks (see the article on belief propagation).

Disputes between Pearl and Rubin

Not necessarily books. Posts and papers are included.

From Andrew Gelman (Student of Rubin, now Prof. at Columbia U.)

Resolving disputes between J. Pearl and D. Rubin on causal inference [Go to post]
[Must Read] The post from Prof. Gelman shows the disputes from Rubin’s perspective. It helps understand why Pearl’s framework faces great challenges in the statistic community while being so successful in machine learning and social computing.
