I’ve heard Miguel Hernán’s “What If” is also excellent, but not got round to reading it.
- uniqueuid 2y agoYes it's great! There is also this great book on causality in ML, but it's a much heavier read: Chernozhukov, V., Hansen, C., Kallus, N., Spindler, M., & Syrgkanis, V. (2025). Causal Inference with ML and AI.
