Research Design: Casual Inference from Randomized and Observational Data
SURV722
Onsite
Fall
Description:
This course treats research designs from which causal inferences are sought. Classical experimental design will be contrasted with quasi-experiments, evaluation studies, and other observational study designs. Emphasis will be placed on how design features impact the nature of statistical estimation and inference from the designs. Issues of blocking, balancing, repeated measures, control strategies, etc., will be treated.
