When You Can’t See the Confounder: Instrumental Variables (Part 4)

1. 1Define a causal question and identify potential confounders
2. 2Draw a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to visualize the relationships between variables
3. 3Apply instrumental variables to control for hidden confounders
4. 4Test the validity of the instrumental variables using statistical methods
5. 5Interpret the results and draw conclusions about the causal relationship

Data scientists and analysts working on causal inference projects can benefit from this technique to improve the accuracy of their models, and machine learning engineers can apply this knowledge to develop more robust models

💡 Instrumental variables can help control for hidden confounders, allowing for more accurate causal inference
