## Motivation



"Correlation does not imply causation". Every data scientist you meet probably mumbles this while sleeping. So what implies causation?

Cause, as verb and a noun was studied, discusses and argued about from early days. In the context of statistics we try to quantify how one event effect on another event given set of assumptions. This corresponds to many research questions we face daily, such as - which treatment works better, how does minimum wage influence unemployment, how ads influence the users in our app, etc. This repository aggregates causal inference related resources.
