TOPIC: “Did That New Feature Actually Work?
A Beginner’s Guide to Proving Cause and Effect with Data” by Felipe Santos-Marquez.
Say you launch a new feature and more people stick around afterward. Awesome, right? But here’s the catch: maybe those users were already the type who stick around, feature or not.
So how do you actually prove the feature was the reason, and not just a coincidence That’s what this talk is about. It’s an easy introduction to “causal inference,” which is basically a set of data science and AI adjacent techniques used to figure out real cause and effect from data, instead of just guessing or assuming.
All audiences welcome, whether you work in tech, business, or are just curious.
See you then!
