This book provides a comprehensive exploration of causal inference, specifically tailored for machine learning practitioners. It begins by establishing the fundamental distinction between correlation and causation, emphasizing why traditional machine learning models--primarily focused on pattern recognition--often fall short in scenarios that require an understanding of cause and effect. The book introduces core causal concepts, such as interventions and counterfactuals, and explains how these ideas are formalized through tools like causal graphs (Directed Acyclic Graphs, or DAGs) and the do-operator. Readers will learn to identify common pitfalls in observational data, including confounding, selection bias, and Simpson's Paradox, and will understand why these challenges necessitate a causal approach.
