"What If Correlation Is Causation? (A Conversation Inspired by Judea Pearl)": Slack channel?

[ericjdaza]

Hi folks,

Wanna get a Slack channel going to continue discussing causality and causal inference (particularly for n-of-1 studies, but also more generally)? If so, let me know, and I'll set it up if enough people are interested.

Thanks,
Eric J. Daza.

Eric can we do it here? I'm reading The Book of Why right now.

Yes, I would like to dive deeper into the concepts you presented this weekend. Would love there to be a HOW-TO follow up lesson, if we want to apply what you are sharing to create models for our N-of-1’s, especially for those of us who are self-taught and don’t have grad level training

That works! Also: A colleague has set up an n-of-1 slack channel (n-of-1.slack.com), in which I created a #cauality sub-channel for targeted discussion about causality.

Fantastic! Please see my relevant reply to Agaricus: "A colleague has set up an n-of-1 slack channel (n-of-1.slack.com), in which I created a #cauality sub-channel for targeted discussion about causality."
