Intro - Role of interventions in causal inferences #4

Open awillats opened 2 years ago

awillats commented 2 years ago

interventions have been identified as a key ingredient in causal inference the theory is active, plenty of groundwork, but gap in connecting to practicalities of experiment gap from the neuroscience side in terms of using the established CI theory to navigate experiment design decisions @Matt [high priority for detailed outline, high priority for early discussion, requires calibration in language used depending on audience] "stronger interventions facilitate stronger inference"

Added some initial writing to section_content/background_intervention_causal_inf.md. Additional sources from the CI literature on learning from interventions / experimental design / active selection of interventions are in the "causal inference > selecting interventions / experimental design" zotero folder.

Moving this over to the "review" column for Adam. At this point I think it'd be helpful to discuss calibration on length, audience, etc (note that I wrote this to be a bit more verbose than it'll probably end up, thinking that it's easier to cut than add) and anything that seems way off base -- but I'm imagining that there will be lots of work once the rest of the intro and paper starts coming into clearer focus to smooth things out before we should get into super fine details here.
