Acknowledgments
This book was mainly inspired by Dr. Yanhui Wu’s course: ECON3284 Causal Inference. I took this course in the 2023 Fall Semester with the goal of overcoming my fear of statistics. It was a terrific experience with stellar teaching, and I got to meet a lot of new like-minded friends and colleagues.
Additionally, the book utilizes a lot of ideas and concepts from the Introduction to Data Science and Advanced Data Science textbooks by HarvardX. These books are available for free online, and were used in the course: COMP2501 Introduction to Data Science and Engineering at the University of Hong Kong.
Finally, the videos embedded throughout this book are sourced from the StatQuest Youtube Channel by Josh Starmer. His videos have been a lifesaver for myself and a lot of my friends.
