Statistics is a branch of math that involves the collection, description, analysis, and inference of conclusions from quantitative data. But what is a statistic? Let’s find out. The word statistic is ...

Causal inference is crucial in biological research, as it enables the understanding of complex relationships and dynamic processes that drive cellular behavior, development, and disease.

The majority of recent empirical papers in operations management (OM) employ observational data to investigate the causal effects of a treatment, such as program or policy adoption. However, as ...

This paper describes threats to making valid causal inferences about pandemic impacts on student learning based on cross-year comparisons of average test scores. The paper uses Spring 2021 test score ...

Recently, a research team from Dankook University in South Korea proposed a new method that utilizes principles of quantum mechanics to solve causal inference problems. This breakthrough provides a ...
