Introduction to DAGs

Welcome to the Introduction to DAGs for Causal Inference in R workshop!

The material covered in this workshop places greater emphasis on a conceptual understanding of causal inference, particularly the use of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and the backdoor criterion.

To illustrate some examples, we will be using some R code. Before beginning the seminar, please make sure you have R and RStudio installed.

Please install the following packages:

install.packages(c( "dagitty", "ggdag", "tidyverse", "gridExtra"), dependencies=TRUE)
