Our honour to be mentioned by Judea Pearl on twitter.

 
      Aspiration to learn everything from data alone has 
      kept the ML community away from science.

A resource list, code snippets or small scale software solutions for causal analysis in different areas. The name is inspired from the movie looper, which has a premise of time-like loops, probably the most complex causal subject from physics point of view.

The main entry is a markdown file as follows, any looper specific internal examples are lined there too :

• A resource list for causality in statistics, data science and physics Other fields of course such as econometrics, epidemiology and many more.

Looper Nuggets

Looper Nuggets mimick a glossary of terms and concepts in causal inference, though they are entry to understanding concepts in pedagogical manner. See the list of them here.
