MiSoC training course/NCRM: An introduction to machine learning for causal analysis using observational data
- Date and time
- Starts: Ends:
- Location
- University of Essex
- Presented by
- Professor Paul Clarke, Dr Spyros Samothrakis, Damian Machlanski
This workshop will:
1. Introduce the basic principles of causal modelling (potential outcomes, graphs, causal effects) while emphasising the key role of design and assumptions in obtaining robust estimates.
2. Introduce the basic principles of machine learning and the use of machine learning methods to do causal inference (e.g. methods stemming from domain adaptation and propensity scores).
3. Show how to implement these techniques for causal analysis and interpret the results in illustrative examples.
