Rubin causal model

The Rubin causal model (RCM), also known as the Neyman–Rubin causal model, is an approach to the statistical analysis of cause and effect based on the framework of potential outcomes, named after Donald Rubin. The name "Rubin causal model" was first coined by . The potential outcomes framework was first proposed by Jerzy Neyman in his 1923 Master's thesis, though he discussed it only in the context of completely randomized experiments. Rubin extended it into a general framework for thinking about causation in both observational and experimental studies. (Wikipedia).

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

The Survivor Bias, also know as the survival or survivorship bias, is a commonly committed cognitive bias in the field of business and science. When people make assumptions from data without understanding where all the data is coming from, they are falling victim to a great example of a su

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.

No Cause for Concern: Indefinite Causal Ordering as a Tool for Understanding Entanglement

Understanding the sorts of explanations and inferences that causal processes countenance is of course of great interest to philosophers and physicists (among others).  But what can be said about physical processes that fail to exhibit classical causal structure?  Indefinite causal ordering
