Course Details
• Introduction to Causal Inference: Understanding the fundamentals of causal inference, including the difference between association and causation, and the key concepts of confounding, selection bias, and reverse causality.
• Study Designs for Causal Inference: Exploring the various study designs, both observational and experimental, that can be used to establish causal relationships in healthcare analytics.
• Propensity Score Matching: Learning the techniques for creating and implementing propensity score matching to reduce bias in observational studies and improve causal inference.
• Regression Analysis for Causal Inference: Understanding how to use regression models to estimate causal effects, including the use of instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, and fixed effects models.
• Causal Inference in Machine Learning: Examining the application of machine learning techniques, such as random forests and neural networks, to causal inference problems, and the challenges and opportunities presented by these approaches.
• Causal Mediation Analysis: Learning how to decompose the total effect of an exposure into direct and indirect effects, and the use of mediation analysis to understand the mechanisms underlying causal relationships.
• Communicating Causal Inferences: Developing skills to effectively communicate causal inferences to stakeholders, including the use of clear and concise language, appropriate visualizations, and consideration of the limitations of the analysis.
• Ethical Considerations in Causal Inference: Exploring the ethical considerations surrounding causal inference, including the use of surrogate outcomes, the potential for harm, and the importance of transparency and replicability.
