Inference

Correspondent inference theory

Correspondent inference theory is a psychological theory proposed by Edward E. Jones and (1965) that "systematically accounts for a perceiver's inferences about what an actor was trying to achieve by a particular action". The purpose of this theory is to explain why people make internal or external attributions. People compare their actions with alternative actions to evaluate the choices that they have made, and by looking at various factors they can decide if their behaviour was caused by an internal disposition. The covariation model is used within this, more specifically that the degree in which one attributes behavior to the person as opposed to the situation. These factors are the following: does the person have a choice in the partaking in the action, is their behavior expected by their social role, and is their behavior consequence of their normal behavior? (Wikipedia).

Causal Inference Introduction

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.

Observational Studies - Causal Inference

Today I talk about how observational studies are great examples of when causation does not equal association by visiting a real world example. The next videos will explore how we extract causal information from observational studies

Crossover Random Experiment - Causal Inference

In this video, I explain the concept of a crossover random experiment which is essentially the practical/normal version of a single individual idealized experiment (which we covered in the previous video: https://youtu.be/bJ0dlGkYga0 of the Causal Inference series).
