Causal Inference

Prerequisite: Intro to Data Science

Introduces the counterfactual framework of causal inference and then considers a variety of approaches, starting with the most basic experimental designs to more complex observational methods, for making inferences about causal relationships from the data. Addresses questions about data generation and interpretation and provides hands-on implementation of causal inference techniques with real data sets.
