* Demystifying causal inference, explaining its importance in answering “why” and “what if” questions beyond traditional correlation-based analytics. Through a hands-on R demo, we’ll explore a real-world industry application—evaluating a marketing campaign’s impact on sales using propensity score matching and causal forests. The session will conclude with a look at the future of causal inference in the AI era, highlighting its growing role in tech, healthcare, and policy, followed by a Q&A. Attendees will leave with practical R tools, resources, and inspiration to apply causal inference in their own work.
