    GlossaryCausal Inference

    determining if one factor directly affects another

    Causal inference is the process of determining whether a cause-and-effect relationship exists between two variables. For example, in the context of hair loss (alopecia), researchers might use causal inference to determine if a specific treatment directly leads to hair regrowth. This involves using statistical methods and study designs, such as randomized controlled trials, to rule out other factors and establish a direct link.
