This workshop will provide the foundations of machine learning procedures (MLPs) that are used mainly for predictions and cover recent developments of MLPs that can be used for causal inference and hypotheses testing from observational data. The technological revolution of the internet has generated a repository of digital observational data as a byproduct, and this revolution has been complemented by an influx of MLPs from computer science, leading to an emerging new field of computational social science. In the social sciences, empirical analyses typically estimate the causal effect of implementing a policy, changing a price, running an advertisement, or introducing new products.
Live Lecture and Lab Session: 10 am–3:00 pm Eastern Time (New York Time) each day with one hour break at noon. Video-recorded versions will be accessible for 8 weeks.
Payment: The fee of Canadian $700 Regular, $500 for Students.
The workshop is organized by DataOrbit and taught by Towhid Islam, PhD., Professor, Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies, University of Guelph, Canada.
