DESCRIPTION:\n\nTwo paths to causal inference: Propensity scores and struc
 tural equation modeling\nSpeaker: \nMeichen Dong\, JMP\, Senior Research

 cian Developer \nDate: Dec 9th\, 3 pm CET\nAbstract:\nAt the heart of man
 y science and engineering problems is a causal question: Does X cause Y\, 
 and if so\, what is the magnitude and direction of the effect in the prese
 nce of other effects? Although well-designed experiments are the gold stan
 dard for estimating causal effects\, many situations make experiments impo
 ssible or unethical to conduct. Moreover\, much of modern data are observa
 tional\, gathered from a variety of sources like sensors or surveys. Thus\
 , learning how to make causal inferences from these data is critical for s
 olving a variety of problems. Because causal inference has a rich history 
 in many disciplines\, different terminologies and methods exist. This pres
 entation focuses on two complimentary approaches: propensity score methods
  and structural equation modeling. We clarify key causal concepts and rely
  on illustrative examples to perform causal inference using JMP Pro.\nBios
