M235 Trivia Week 2

Front

What is the fundamental problem of causal inference?

Back

The fundamental problem of causal inference is a missing data problem.

Front

Which experimental design is least desirable for achieving equal treatment and control groups in a classical randomized experiment?

Back

Bernoulli trials.

Front

What does SUTVA stand for in causal inference?

Back

SUTVA stands for the Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption, which assumes that the treatment of one unit does not affect the outcome of another unit.

Front

What is a completely randomized experiment?

Back

A completely randomized experiment is a design where subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and control groups without any restrictions.

Front

What is a paired randomized experiment?

Back

A paired randomized experiment is a design where subjects are paired based on certain characteristics, and each member of the pair is assigned to different treatment conditions.

Front

What is the purpose of stratified randomized experiments?

Back

Stratified randomized experiments aim to ensure that specific subgroups are represented equally in both treatment and control groups.

Front

What is the causal estimand?

Back

The causal estimand is a quantity that represents the causal effect of a treatment on an outcome.

Front

How does causal ordering contribute to the definition of the causal estimand?

Back

Causal ordering assumes that the cause leads to an effect in only one direction.

Front

What is individualistic assignment in experimental design?

Back

Individualistic assignment refers to assigning treatments to subjects based on individual characteristics.

Front

What is probabilistic assignment in experimental design?

Back

Probabilistic assignment refers to assigning treatments to subjects based on random probabilities.
