Methods of discovering causal effects
Methods of discovering causal effects: basically, after observing or interacting with the environment, how can we discover what causes what? When are we justified to claim causal effects (not just correlation)?
| Method/strategy | Notes | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Try to deliberately control as many other variables as possible | [1] | |
| Randomized controlled trial | [1] Michael Nielsen also talks about this in his tutorial | |
| The do calculus | This allows us to infer causal effects just by observation. |
