Lecture 1 is ready for review: https://mkiang.github.io/intro-ci-shortcourse/slides/part-01-intro/
Just go to that page and hit "P" key to see presenter notes. The CSS layout needs to be modified but am looking for feedback on typos and or content and or ideas.

- Add consistency to the list of assumptions

hey @mkiang Lecture 1 looks really good (also xaringan
super fancy!). A few minor comments:
- Stress difference between causal and predictive interpretations. Presumably data science students are used to thinking about problems mostly in terms of prediction. So maybe discuss slide 17 (definition of causal inference) wrt how it differs from predictive inference (e.g. comparisons between units vs comparisons of different treatments on same units).
- RE: other examples: Jas Sehkon has a lot of cool examples in poli sci. But that said probably best if you talk about papers you know more
- Maybe add a slide after slide 18 introducing Rubin causal framework in a couple of sentences, rather than just jumping in
- slide 24: Assumptions for/of what? Assumptions of RCM sufficient to identify ATE?
- for exchangeability statement: want double line independence symbol instead of
$\perp$ but unsure how easy this is so probably not that important - Extra reading: could add Gelman Hill to list of additional resources (chapter 9)
- Extra reading II: David Freedman stuff is fun. e.g. 'statistical models and shoe leather'

@MJAlexander thanks for looking. Modified your comment into a task list so it'll be easier for me to go through.

Also for future reference (to myself, mostly), MathJax will allow you to do $\def\indep{\perp \! \! \perp}$
and then refer to \indep
for conditional independence symbol. I couldn't get any methods that required loading packages to work.

See lecture-1-update
branch. @writezhe do you have examples of counterfactuals you want to include?
from intro-ci-shortcourse.
@MJAlexander do you have a specific Sehkon paper you like? Want to add more non-health stuff.

- My favorite is this one http://sekhon.berkeley.edu/papers/SekhonTitiunik.pdf but may not be appropriate. I'll look for another example
from intro-ci-shortcourse.
Almost all comments and suggestions have been incorporated. See b0cb7b8. Still need example of good CI.

Just need good example of CI now. Transitions are in. Notes are in. Could give it now if we had a CI example. Will think on it, but maybe give up on Mexico-centric example. See ea430b8.

- Also need to add difficulty of appropriate counterfactuals. Fastest tricycle vs slowest Ferrari.
