A causal inference analysis enables research questions to be framed as causal questions and transparently lay out the underlying assumptions used to answer these. Causal discovery can be used to learn causal gr
存在Treat \times X 交互项的线性回归中,如果Treat/Untreated Group的变量 X 均值不相等,其因果效应就不相等。 因此,与其说“因果推断(causal inference)是回归(regression)问题的一种特例”,不如说“回归所假定的模型,是因果关系模式的一种特例”。我们默认回归模型的形式是完全正确的。在得到参数估计后,我们可以通...

Causal inference is considered a crucial topic in the medical field, as it enables the determination of causal effects for medical treatments through data
Causal inference requires knowledge about the behavioral processes that structure equilibria in the world. Without them, one cannot hope to devise a credible identification strategy. Not even data is a substitute for deep institutional knowledge about the phenomenon you’re studying. That, strangely ...

Many research questions in Earth and environmental sciences are inherently causal, requiring robust analyses to establish whether and how changes in one variable cause changes in another. Causal inference provides the theoretical foundations to use data
