TOP REVIEWS FROM A CRASH COURSE IN CAUSALITY: INFERRING CAUSAL EFFECTS FROM OBSERVATIONAL DATA
Great course! I am glad i came accross it. Helped me a great deal with my project at work. I wish there were more courses by this professor.
Great introduction to the field covering model synthesis of causality ideals. Glitches in assignments - make sure to check the discussion for workarounds.
This course is really fantastic for all levels. Very thorough explanations and helpful illustrations. Many thanks for putting this together!
My work involves working with observational data. This course taught me to think in more formal and organized way on topics and questions of causal inference.
