Causal Inference – basics and examples

Abstract:

In real world, people are interested in causality rather than association. For example, pharmaceutical companies want to know effectiveness of their new drugs against diseases. South Korea Government officials are concerned about the effects of recent regulation with respect to an electric car subsidy from United States. Due to this reason, causal inference has been received much attention in decades and it is now a big research field in statistics. In this seminar, I will talk about basic idea and theory in the causal inference. Real data examples will be discussed.
