Average Course Rating

This course will cover advanced topics on all areas of causal inference, including learning causal effects, path-specific effects, and optimal policies from data featuring biases induced by missing data, confounders, selection, and measurement error, techniques for generalizing findings to different populations, complex probabilistic models relevant for causal inference applications, learning causal structure from data, and inference under interference and network effects. The course will feature a final project which would involve either an applied data analysis problem (with a causal inference flavor), a literature review, or theoretical work.
