Hi, Nick. If you have time, could you help me with a question: Is the ignorability assumption the same as the conditional independence assumption? Thank you.
Sorry, never saw this for some reason. Ignorability as a concept is a bit more general than just conditional independence, but in application conditional ignorability and conditional independence, as applied to treatment assignment are basically the same.
Thank you for explaining, and goodluck to anyone who is here to study for their upcoming exam!
Really enjoyed the videos. Strongly recommend for people that wants to learn more of the causal diagrams framework.
Thank you!
I learned more from this 10 min video than from a 2-hour class.
What do you mean by back doors? does it mean confounding variables?
Causal pathways from X to Y that aren't just arrows pointing away from X and towards Y. See my videos on causal diagrams.
