Does anyone know about contrafactual statistical simulation models, and can you recommend a reference book for me?
Thanks
There is a lot of practical information regarding simulations in this book (it's really cheap too). All of the examples are free online at the address listed in the preface. https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B07BHWRDSD&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_RRXWZME8619AD49B8BZW
Thank you a lot Dudley J Benton, I'll look into it in detail... regards
Hi Cristian,
There are two parts here, theory and practice:
- For theory, you can't go past the classic work: "Causality - Models, Reasoning and Inference" by Judea Pearl. Its a dense read, but its got everything you need to do anything you want, theoretically.
- For practical implementation (at scale for complex systems), there is only one software platform which I am aware of which implements Pearl's ideas of counterfactuals, together with agent based modelling, causal loops, systems dynamics and so on, which is Epistemology's SKAI. There's no reference book for it available yet (its being trialed at UWA and elsewhere) but I'd be happy to show you around.

Thank you very much @james ward, that's a good recommendation... I'll look into it 🤗.
