Why Conduct Intervention Experiments ?

  • Establish Causality: Determine if X causes Y, rather than just being correlated;
  • Optimize Decision-Making : Test the impact of changes before full-scale implementation;
  • Simulate Alternative Scenarios: Understand " what would happen if we did X instead of Y ?"

Key Concepts in Intervention Experiments

  • Randomized Controlled Trials(RCTs)[Gold Standard]
  • A/B Testing [Common in Business & Tech]
  • Instrumental Variables(IV)[For Uncontrolled Experiments]
  • Natural Experiments
  • Causal Reinforcement Learning [AI & Decision-Making]

Challenges & Future Directions

  • Ethical Constraints : Some interventions may be unethical.
  • High Cost : Large-Scale experimentscan be expensive and time-consuming.
  • Confounding Variables:Even with interventions , other unmeasured factors may influence results.
  • AI-Driven Experimentation : Automating interventions using machine learning.
  • Digital Twins for Ex
