Sheps IT Lunch & Learn: Introduction to Causal Inference and Treatment Effects

The Sheps Center is proud to host a Lunch & Learn series this year focused on statistical methods for analyzing data.  These sessions will be facilitated by Chuck Huber from StataCorp.  These workshops will be held via zoom and registration is required.  Register for this event here, https://go.unc.edu/ShepsWebinar2

This talk introduces the basic concepts of causal inference including counterfactuals and potential outcomes. I will demonstrate how to use Stata’s -teffects- suite of commands to fit causal models using propensity score matching, inverse-probability weighting, regression adjustment, “doubly-robust” estimators that use a combination of inverse-probability weighting with regression adjustment, and nearest-neighbor matching.
