Description

This lecture covers the concept of the front door criterion in causal inference, explaining the conditions under which a set of variables satisfies this criterion for an ordered pair. It discusses the blocking of directed paths, the absence of backdoor paths, and the observation of blocked paths. The sufficient conditions for the front door criterion are detailed, emphasizing the importance of variables blocking paths effectively.
