Use the Potential Outcomes Framework to estimate what we cannot measure.
You hear it all the time: "correlation is not causation." By taking this course, you'll find out what causation really is. Leverage the Potential Outcomes Framework to think counterfactually, and develop a formal language for causal inference.
### Take-Away Skills
In this course, you will learn the conceptual foundations for determining causal inference and how to work with data to understand why things happen. You'll develop a framework to think about problems counterfactually using the Potential Outcomes Framework.
[Some knowledge of R](https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-r) is required.
