It took us three years to write this thing. But the good news is you can read it in three days!
We cover fairly advanced methods -- counterfactuals, g-computation, inverse probability of treatment weighting, poststratification, missing data imputation, etc. -- without dense formal notation.
"Strongly application-focused... an effective tool for getting data analysts into the world of causal inference and immediately into a workable project." -- Nick Huntington-Klein, @nickchk.com
Instead, we cut to the chase and emphasize a practical workflow using step-by-step explanations and real data examples in R.
