About the Course

We have all heard the phrase 鈥渃orrelation does not equal causation.鈥� What, then, does equal causation? This course aims to answer that question and more! Over a period of 5 weeks, you will learn how causal effects are defined, what assumptions about your data and models are necessary, and how to implement and interpret some popular statistical methods. Learners will have the opportunity to apply these methods to example data in R (free statistical software environment). At the end of the course, learners should be able to: 1. Define causal effects using potential outcomes 2. Describe the difference between association and causation 3. Express assumptions with causal graphs 4. Implement several types of causal inference methods (e.g. matching, instrumental variables, inverse probability of treatment weighting) 5. Identify which causal assumptions are necessary for each type of statistical method So join us.... and discover for yourself why modern statistical methods for estimating causal effects are indispensable in so many fields of study!...

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.

I completed all 4 available courses in causal inference on 糖心vlog官网观看. This one has the best teaching quality. The material is very clear and self-contained!

Good content. But irregular assignments, most with no feedback. Moreover some exercises could have errors, or at least ambiguous enunciates.

I think there are parts in the course where further discussion is needed.

There is an error in the assignment submission. I always get the same score 75% regardless of my answer and intentionally made everything wrong, still the same! and cannot move forward as the passing score is 80%
