A daily glass of wine prolongs life, or so we are told. Yet we are also told that alcohol can cause life-threatening cancer and that pregnant women should abstain from drinking. Some say that raising the minimum wage decreases inequality, while others say it increases unemployment. Investigators once confidently claimed that hormone replacement therapy reduces the risk of heart disease, but today investigators confidently claim it raises that risk. How should we study such questions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eObservation and Experiment\u003c\/em\u003e is an introduction to causal inference from one of the field's leading scholars. Using minimal mathematics and statistics, Paul Rosenbaum explains key concepts and methods through scientific examples that make complex ideas concrete and abstract principles accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome causal questions can be studied in randomised trials in which coin flips assign individuals to treatments. But because randomised trials are not always practical or ethical, many causal questions are investigated in nonrandomised observational studies. To illustrate, Rosenbaum draws examples from clinical medicine, economics, public health, epidemiology, clinical psychology, and psychiatry. Readers gain an understanding of the design and interpretation of randomised trials, the ways they differ from observational studies, and the techniques used to remove, investigate, and appraise bias in observational studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eObservation and Experiment\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable resource for anyone with a serious interest in the empirical study of human health, behaviour, and well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854716719340,"sku":"9780674241633","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674241633.jpg?v=1759252906"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-rosenbaum.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
