When you know the cause of an event, you can affect its outcome. This accessible introduction to causal inference shows you how to determine causality and estimate effects using statistics and Machine Learning. A/B tests or randomized controlled trials are expensive and often unfeasible in a business environment. Causal Inference for Data Science reveals the techniques and methodologies you can use to identify causes from data, even when no experiment or test has been performed. It’s possible to predict events without knowing what causes them. Understanding causality allows you both to make data-driven predictions and also intervene to affect the outcomes. Causal Inference for Data Science shows you how to build Data Science tools that can identify the root cause of trends and events. You’ll learn how to interpret historical data, understand customer behaviors, and empower management to apply optimal decisions. Why did you get a particular result? What would have lead to a different outcome? These are the essential questions of causal inference. This powerful methodology improves your decisions by connecting cause and effect—even when you can’t run experiments, A/B tests, or expensive controlled trials. For data scientists, ML engineers, and statisticians.
