A Practitioner’s Guide To Interrupted Time Series

Modeling interrupted time series Time Seriesposted by Leihua Ye February 7, 2020

In the world of causal inference, Randomized Controlled Trials, RCTs, are considered the gold standard as it rules out any covariate differences before the intervention. However, running an RCT isn’t an option for multiple reasons (e.g., too expensive, invalid assumptions, too long, not ethical, etc.). [Related... Read more
