Causal inference at the population level
Keywords:
Assignment mechanism, Causal inference, Observational studyAbstract
Three elements are needed to formalize a causal quantity at the population level: response, treatment, and the causal element, which are introduced here by notation. Inclusion of two essential causal assumptions, the monitoring and illumination assumptions, in a function distinguishes causal from association analyses. The discussion provides insight into causal inference.
