Case Studies of CausalImpact #28

Closed sophia-wright-blue closed 3 years ago

sophia-wright-blue commented 5 years ago

thanks for releasing this amazing library! Are there any documented use cases of how Google uses this CausalImpact library on real world data?

It'd also be helpful if someone could point me to any documentation of this library being used for practical real use cases, and not just sample data. I'm trying to understand the limitations in the interpretation of the output before I use this library to reach any conclusions for an actual use case. Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not aware of a documentation of use cases at Google, but there are many real-world applications published in papers that cite the CausalImpact paper:

Closing the thread now.

Feel free to forward to Cross Validated as it does not refer to a problem with the CausalImpact code.
