Week 5, Day 1

Last week, I made a copy of the Causality GitHub repository and began reading through the documentation and source code. In order to successfully implement the counterfactual tool, I'll need a thorough understanding of the existing codebase -- especially the scripts for the data generation, causal graph, probability space, and interventional calculus components.

I'm currently struggling with getting started on my implementation phase, and I think it's because understanding the existing src has proven more difficult than expected. I've scheduled a meeting with Roger for tomorrow, and I'm hoping he can walk through the code with me to help foster my intuition on implementing causality algorithms.
