Causal Effects

What is a treatment effect and how to compute it?

This article is a continuation of a 3-part series on causality. Previous posts focused on causal inference and causal discovery. This post builds upon these ideas and describes three different causal effects. In future posts, we will discuss computing causal effects from observational data and evaluating causal effects using the do-operator.

Key Point:

• Causal effects quantify the impact of a treatment by comparing the outcomes of different treatment values
