📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to execute and analyze regression and causal inference models using mock datasets to evaluate treatment effects, biases, and confounding variables.

Key Activities

  • Developed a Python script for covariate analysis and visualization, focusing on treatment types across regions.
  • Generated a mock dataset for regression analysis, including treatment and control groups.
  • Created an outline for a memo on violence information outcomes, detailing data quality and matching procedures.
  • Conducted quality assessment of a violence information dataset, highlighting data sources and limitations.
  • Provided an overview of matching procedures and diagnostics using Python notebooks.
  • Structured the experimentation process for data analysis, including function definitions and result plotting.
  • Conducted numerical tests with mock data for causal inference, evaluating matching and regression methods.
  • Concluded the regression models and causal inference study, summarizing findings and implications.

Achievements

  • Successfully executed scripts and notebooks for regression and causal inference analysis.
  • Generated insights into the robustness of regression models and treatment effects.
  • Prepared structured documentation and memos for violence data analysis.

Pending Tasks

  • Further investigation into the implications of biases and confounding variables on regression models.
  • Continue refining matching procedures and diagnostics for more accurate analysis outcomes.
