Causal Inference Book

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Recently started reading the causal inference book, Counterfactuals and Causal Inference, by Stephen Morgan and Christopher Winship. Link to book. This book was recommended by researchers at the ACL conference. I personally found Pearl’s 2009 book to hard to read and his popular book less detailed. This book started with the history and included other researches done in the field. So after I get partly through the backdoor criterion section, I decided to program it using networkx. I have just gone through the part where I check if the backdoor criterion is satisfied. https://github.com/yangliu2/frontal Will implement the part that will recommend variables to condition to prove the causal relationship.
