Experiments & Causal Inference

A particular cause can produce two simultaneous effects which are strongly correlated. Those effects can predict each other very well, but we know that none of them is the cause for the other. This course offers methods to establish the existence of such causal relationship using data. Concepts are explained using examples and implementations.
