Week 7, Day 1

Read Pearl's paper about the "effect of treatment on the treated" (source); this may be a useful tool a bit later on, as it allows estimation of a counterfactual distribution under conditional intervention.

Started implementing the "closest worlds" approach, using DataFrames to easily represent and transform each observation in the dataset.

Met with Roger and discussed reordered to-do list:

  1. Implement Lewis' imaging approach (closest worlds).
  2. Implement test cases.
  3. Search for real-world datasets.
  4. Implement Pearl's deterministic/probabilistic approaches.
  5. Implement ETT.
  6. Implement mediation/additive intervention.
  7. Implement PNS.
