In the field of epidemiology, the causal mechanisms responsible for diseases can be understood using the causal pie model, where each pie in the diagram represent a theoretical causal mechanism for a given disease, which is also called a sufficient cause. Each pie is made up many component factors, otherwise known as component causes. In this framework, each component cause represents an event or condition required for a given disease or outcome. A component cause that appears in every pie is called a necessary cause as the outcome cannot occur without it. (Wikipedia).
Causal Diagrams - Causal Inference
Today I talk about causal diagrams, e.g., dag, inline. This is one of the most important tools in Causal Inference, and we learn how to draw these tools out. Later we will learn how to use them in analysis.

Causal Inference is a set of tools used to scientifically prove cause and effect, very commonly used in economics and medicine. This series will go over the basics that any data scientist should understand about causal inference - and point them to the tools they would need to perform it.

Causal Behavioral Modeling Framework - Discrete Choice Modeling of Consumer Demand
There are increasing demands for "causal ML models" of the agent behaviors, which enable us to unbox the complex black-box models and make inferences or do proper counterfactual simulations. Many applications (especially in Marketing) intrinsically call for measurement of the causal impact

Intro to Epidemiology: Crash Course Public Health #6
Epidemiology is the study of patterns of diseases. And most people might think that means epidemiologists are only studying things like Ebola. But the truth is much more varied. In this episode of Crash Course Public Health, we'll take a look at the different ways Epidemiology is conducted

D-Separation - Causal Inference
Today I talk about association in causal diagrams, e.g., D-separation. By applying the rules I outline in this video you will be able to determine if two variables are associated.

Double Blind - Causal Inference
In this video, I talk about the double blind assumption (both placebo effects and scientist preference effects) which serves as a good segue to causal diagrams, which I also go over. Enjoy!
