Optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning in R workshop

Join our workshop on Optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 


Here’s some more info: 

Title: Optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning in R

Date: Thursday, May 16th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Martin Huber earned his Ph.D. in Economics and Finance with a specialization in econometrics from the University of St. Gallen in 2010. Following this, he served as an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Methods in Economics at the same institution. He undertook a visiting appointment at Harvard University in 2011–2012 before joining the University of Fribourg as a Professor of Applied Econometrics in 2014. His research encompasses methodological and applied contributions across various fields, including causal analysis and policy evaluation, machine learning, statistics, econometrics, and empirical economics. Martin Huber’s work has been published in academic journals such as the Journal of the American Statistical Association, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society B, the Journal of Econometrics, the Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, and the Econometrics Journal, among others. He is also the author of the book “Causal Analysis: Impact Evaluation and Causal Machine Learning with Applications in R.”

Description: Causal analysis aims to assess the causal effect of a treatment, such as a training program for jobseekers, on an outcome of interest, such as employment. This assessment requires ensuring comparability between groups receiving and not receiving the treatment in terms of outcome-relevant background characteristics (e.g., education or experience). Causal machine learning serves two primary purposes: (1) generating comparable groups in a data-driven manner by detecting and controlling for characteristics that significantly affect the treatment and outcome, and (2) assessing the heterogeneity of treatment effects across groups differing in observed characteristics. Closely related to effect heterogeneity analysis is optimal policy learning, which seeks to optimally target specific subgroups with treatment based on their observed characteristics to maximize treatment effectiveness. This workshop introduces optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning, facilitating (1) data-driven segmentation of a sample into subgroups and (2) optimal treatment assignment across subgroups to maximize effectiveness. The workshop also explores applications of this method using the statistical software “R” and its interface “R Studio.”

Date: Thursday, April 11th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Michael Knaus is Assistant Professor of “Data Science in Economics” at the University of Tübingen. He is working at the intersection of causal inference and machine learning for policy evaluation and recommendation.

Description: You want to learn about Double Machine Learning and/or Causal Forests for causal effect estimation but are hesitant to start because of the heavy formulas involved? Or you are already using them and curious to (better) understand what happens under the hood? In this course, we take a code first, formulas second approach. You will see how to manually replicate the output of the powerful DoubleML and grf packages using at most five lines of code and nothing more than OLS. After seeing that everything boils down to simple recipes, the involved formulas will look more friendly. The course establishes therefore how things work and gives references to further understand why things work.

Here’s some more info: 


Title: Modeling Non-Linear Relationships: An Introduction to Gaussian Process Regression in R and Stan


Date: Thursday, February 13th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)


Speaker: Jan Failenschmid is a Ph.D. candidate in Psychological Research Methods and Statistics at Tilburg University, Netherlands. His research focusses on studying and developing methods for modeling and analyzing non-linear trends and dynamics in psychological time-series and intensive longitudinal data. Given the scarcity of established theories about non-linear associations in Psychology, his work focusses mainly on non-parametric statistical techniques like Gaussian Processes, which make it possible to learn complex non-linear relationships from data while providing interpretable insights.


Description: This workshop will provide an introduction to Gaussian Process regression, a flexible and powerful Bayesian non-parametric technique, for modeling non-linear relationships in R and Stan. The Workshop will start by providing a brief introduction to Bayesian statistics, including the principles underlying Bayesian inference and its implementation in Stan. Building on this foundation, we will delve into Gaussian Processes, exploring their conceptual framework and practical applications. The final part of the workshop will feature hands-on examples illustrating different applications to the kinds of data found in the social and behavioral sciences.
