Judea Pearl is Professor of Computer Science and Statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he directs the Cognitive Systems Laboratory and conducts research in artificial intelligence, causal inference and philosophy of science. He is a Co-Founder and Editor of the
Journal of Causal Inference and the author of three landmark books in inference-related areas. His latest book,
Causality: Models, Reasoning and Inference (Cambridge, 2000, 2009), has introduced many of the methods used in modern causal analysis. It won the Lakatosh Award from the London School of Economics and is cited by more than 10,000 scientific publications.
Pearl is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Association for Artificial Intelligence. He is a recipient of many awards, including the Harvey Prize and the Alan Turing Award.

Causality is important to understanding and using data. Even though hundreds of introductory texts are available on statistical methods of data analysis, no beginner-level book has been written about the exploding arsenal.
Causal inference in statistics. That gap is filled. Using simple examples and plain language, the book shows how to define causality parameters, how to estimate causality in a variety of situations, and how to predict the effects of interventions. In order to use statistical methods to answer questions of interest, a student of statistics needs to acquire these tools.
Anyone with an interest in interpreting data can read this book. A brief introduction to probability and statistics is provided for the uninitiated, and each chapter comes with study questions to reinforce the readers understanding.
