Project Description
We want to evaluate the use of Causality algorithms as described in Causal Inference in Statistics by Judea Pearl et al.
Student will collaboratively identify appropriate datasets for testing, and will produce tested production code implementing the selected algorithms.
Completion of this project involves:
Survey latest techniques and research for Causal Modeling and Causal Inferencing
- Develop tools for Causal Modeling including:
- Statistical Independence and Conditional Independence Tests
- Causal Modeling representation
- Model Identifiability Detection
- Interventional Calculus solver
- Counterfactual Calculus solver
- Causal Modeling User Interface
- Identify multiple datasets for real-world analysis
- Conduct analysis of selected datasets and compare with known ground truth where available
- Publish paper(s) on the research
- Test and document code for general release
By the mid term review we would expect you to have:
