What is the primary goal of a machine learning model in the context of causal inference?
What is the primary goal of a machine learning model in the context of causal inference?
- To estimate causal effects by controlling for confounding variables. (correct)
- To generate new data points that resemble the training data.
- To predict outcomes with the highest possible accuracy.
- To identify complex patterns and correlations in the data.
Which of the following is a key challenge in estimating causal effects using observational data?
Which of the following is a key challenge in estimating causal effects using observational data?
- The difficulty in collecting large-scale datasets.
- The presence of missing values in the dataset.
- The lack of control over the assignment of treatments or interventions. (correct)
- The limited computational resources for training complex models.
What role do confounding variables play in causal inference?
What role do confounding variables play in causal inference?
- They are irrelevant and can be safely ignored in the analysis.
- They increase the precision of the estimated causal effects.
- They introduce bias by correlating with both the treatment and the outcome. (correct)
- They help to clarify the direct relationship between treatment and outcome.
