DoWhy Average Treatment Effect Starter
Use this skill to estimate a deterministic toy average treatment effect with DoWhy and summarize a simple placebo refutation.
What it does
- Builds a toy observational dataset with one confounder, one binary treatment, and one continuous outcome.
- Identifies the backdoor estimand with DoWhy.
- Estimates the average treatment effect with linear regression.
- Runs a placebo-treatment refutation and returns compact JSON.
When to use it
- You need a minimal local starter for causal-inference workflows in Python.
- You want a verified example of identification, estimation, and refutation with DoWhy.
