Causal Inference Under Hidden Confounding provides a practical roadmap for tackling one of the toughest challenges in causal analysis: estimating causal effects when not all confounders are observed. Hidden confounding is a reality in most real-world datasets, from healthcare and economics to policy and business, and naïve models risk misleading results. This resource equips you with the tools and frameworks to address these challenges.
Beyond identification, you’ll explore robustness techniques including E-values, and sensitivity analyses to assess how hidden confounding could impact conclusions.
By the end, you’ll have the skills to design, implement, and critically evaluate causal inference strategies under hidden confounding, ensuring that your insights are both credible and actionable.
This course is designed for data scientists, statisticians, applied researchers, and ML engineers who need to make causal claims from imperfect observational data. A working knowledge of Python and basic causal inference concepts is recommended. Professionals in healthcare, economics, policy, and business analytics will benefit from advanced tools to mitigate hidden confounding and ensure robust decision-making.
