A set of decks and notebooks with exercises for use in a hands-on causal inference tutorial session

Overview

intro-to-causal-inference

A introduction to causal inference using common tools from the python data stack

Table of Contents

Getting Started

Install graphviz

You'll need graphviz for our first exercise notebook, to visualize causal graphs.

Clone the repository

In your terminal, use git to clone the repo to your machine.

git clone [email protected]:ronikobrosly/causal_inference_intro.git

If you are less comfortable with git, there is an easy alternative: You can simply download a zip file of it here :)

Determine your installation preference

Now that you've installed graphviz and cloned the repo locally, there are two paths to finishing up preparing your machine for this tutorial:

Option 1: installing via pip install in a virtual virtualenv

Create a new virtual environment for this tutorial using this guide. Name your environment intro-to-causal-inference

"Activate" this environment and then run the following command in the root folder of this repo: pip install -r requirement.txt

This will install all the necessary packages for the tutorial.

As an optional step, you can try to run the check_environment.py file (in the root folder of the repo) while within your virtual environment. You can do so by running python check_environment.py in your terminal. It will alert you if you're missing any required python packages.

Option 2: installing via Anaconda python and the conda package manager

If you do not already have the Anaconda distribution of Python 3, please install it.

You can then use the conda tool in your terminal to install the necessary packages:

conda env create -f conda_env.yml

"Activate" the new environment via:

conda activate intro-to-causal-inference

As an optional step, you can try to run the check_environment.py file (in the root folder of the repo) while within your virtual environment. You can do so by running python check_environment.py in your terminal. It will alert you if you're missing any required python packages.

Install a new IPython kernelspec

Once the above is complete, you'll need to run the following commands:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name intro-to-causal-inference --display-name "Python (intro-to-causal-inference)"

Start up jupyter lab and open a notebook

In the terminal, execute jupyter lab.

Navigate to the notebooks directory and open your notebook of choice.
