I am using the python package DoWhy
to see if I have a causal relationship between tenure and churn based on;
ANSWER
Answered 2020-May-18 at 12:57Let's take your questions one by one.
1. Is this the right way?Yes, your code snippet is correct, assuming that you want to estimate the causal effect of tenure
and Churn
, by conditioning on nr_login
and avg_movies
.
However this method will output a dataframe containing the interventional values of the outcome Churn
. That is, the values of the churn variable as if tenure had been changed independent of the specified common causes. If the treatment tenure
was discrete, you could have done a simple plot to visualize the effect of different values of tenure
. Something like:

Install dowhy
You can use dowhy like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
