Discussant: Luca La Rocca (Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia)
Room: T36

Short summary: Inferring treatment effects on responses in complex systems is a major challenge. This can be tackled by structuring variables into a network and using techniques of causal inference and path analysis; also the role of confounders can be assessed using feature selection in large regression models. The session addresses computational issues and includes applications to salary gap discrimination and cyber-security risk.
