Do We Need Probability?
Causal inference lies at the very heart of the scientific method.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs; also known as randomized experiemnts or A/B tests) are often called "the golden standard for causal inference".
It's a less known fact that randomized trials have their limitations in answering causal questions.
What are the most common myths about randomization?
What causal questions can and cannot be answered with randomized experiments? Finally, why do we need probability?
Join me on a fascinating journey into clinical trials, randomization and generalization.
