Using Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) for Covariate Selection with Dr. Jon Davis
Thursday, October 15, 2026 2:00pm to 3:30pm

This workshop is intended for students, researchers, and public health professionals with a basic understanding of regression modeling. No prior experience with DAGs or causal inference methods is required.
