Understanding Causes and Constraints in Causal Analysis

This lecture, presented by Farrokh Alemi, Ph.D., explores the essential step of listing causes and constraints relevant to causal analysis. Funded by the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute, this presentation emphasizes understanding how causes are events that precede effects and often occur together. It discusses the importance of focusing on modifiable causes and introduces the concept of counterfactuals to clarify mechanisms. This foundational step sets the stage for further developing a causal model in the next part of the lecture series.
