About this course
A goal of many analytics projects is to answer “how much did factor x affect the outcome?”, otherwise known as the treatment effect. But it can be very hard to do that with real data because it’s often incomplete. This course will introduce you to two techniques to fix that problem: Regression Discontinuity Design and Instrumental Variables.
