Abstract
In The Direction of Time, Hans Reichenbach (1956) stated a principle that he thought helps guide nondeductive inference from an observed correlation to an unobserved cause. He called it the principle of the common cause. Wesley Salmon (1975, 1978, 1984) subsequently elaborated and refined this idea.
