Python Code for Causal Inference: What If

This repo contains Python code for Part II of the book Causal Inference: What If, by Miguel Hernán and James Robins (book site):

Hernán MA, Robins JM (2020). Causal Inference: What If. Boca Raton: Chapman & Hall/CRC.

This Python version roughly corresponds to the Stata, R, or SAS programs found at the book site, and was also translated into Julia, here.

The code in this repo has been checked against the 30 March 2021 version of the book.
