Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use causal inference to investigate data on randomized discounts and determine if an e-commerce company should offer personalized discounting. You’ll estimate a different treatment effect for each customer in the hopes to see if some are positive, and figure out which customers should get what discounts. You’ll utilize Python and machine learning to build this personalization system, and implement a causal model for personalization.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
