What-if? Causal reasoning meets Bayesian Inference
Benjamin Vincent
We learn about the world from data, drawing on a broad array of statistical and inferential tools. The problem is that causal reasoning is needed to answer many of our questions, but few data scientists have this in their skill set. This talk will give a high-level introduction to aspects of causal reasoning and how it is complemented by Bayesian inference. A worked example will be given of how to answer what-if questions.
