Preterm Births and FCI

  Causal graph for weeks of gestation at birth

Inspiration

I have always wanted to used clever analytical methods for social good.

What it does

Approximates the causal structure in a dataset of stress and demographic variables on pregnant women.

How I built it

Used Tetrad!

Challenges I ran into

Entering prior knowledge for ~150 variable takes a long time.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I have a model that seems to make sense empirically.

What I learned

PC and FCI!

What's next for Preterm Births and FCI

Build a predictive model using the causal graph.
