Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll utilize machine learning for treatment effect estimation in order to help an e-commerce company deliver targeted discounting to the most profitable customers. You’ll build a model that predicts the effect of a discount on a customer following a causal model, maximizing profits for the business.

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

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
