ShowWhy v2.0
This version of ShowWhy is a major update, transitioning the app from asking questions of a particular causal form (does exposure X cause Y) into a suite of applications that can ask different types of causal (or other) questions. The apps included here are:
- Exposure Analysis (formerly ShowWhy 1.0) - This app is designed around testing whether causal hypotheses hold under various tests using the dowhy library.
- Causal Discovery - The Causal Discovery app utilizes cutting edge algorithms and deep-learning techniques to discover causal relationships within datasets. This can be useful when a data analyst is taking the first steps towards understanding a particular domain.
- Event Analysis - This application the Synthetic Differences-in-Differences technique to perform impact analysis on treatments given to units, in the context of multiple units (both treated and untreated) changing over time.
Also included is a data-wrangling feature that allows users to clean and shape their data to prepare it for analysis.
