Dear Colleagues,
**with apologies for cross-posting**
The ESRC-funded Consumer Data Research Centre<https://www.cdrc.ac.uk/> at the University of Leeds is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the much-anticipated Summer School:
Causal Inference with Observational Data: the challenges and pitfalls<https://www.cdrc.ac.uk/events/summer-school-causal-inference-with-observational-data-the-challenges-and-pitfalls/>
8th-12th July 2019
Leeds Institute for Data Analytics, University of Leeds
Course Tutors: Prof Mark Gilthorpe, Dr Peter Tennant and Dr George Ellison (based on materials co-written with Dr Johannes Textor)
Fees: £395 (postgraduate students); £695 (researchers, academics, public and charitable sector staff)
This five-day summer school offers state-of-the-art training in the analysis of observational data for causal inference. By exploring the philosophy and utility of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), participants will learn to recognise and avoid a range of common pitfalls in the analysis of complex causal relationships, including the longitudinal analyses of change, mediation, nonlinearity and statistical interaction. Through a mix of lectures, discussions, and interactive workshops - blending theory with real-world examples - the school aims to provide an essential introduction to the analysis of 'big data'. Although the examples are primarily taken from health and medical literature, the topics are relevant to any discipline where non-experimental data is routinely analysed for causal inference. We therefore welcome researchers from fields across the quantitative social sciences.
For more information, please click on the title above. Please note that applications will be reviewed within approx. 1 week of submission and successful applicants will then be sent a booking link to pay for their place on this summer school. Accommodation on campus has been reserved for the school but is not included in the course fee. Places are limited to 28, so please apply early<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScxUZMcaJJhrN_16mzG6pIbp4LnjwTuFr9nfOu5ZK5_0vfhOA/viewform> to avoid disappointment.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions about the School.
Best Wishes,
Kylie
