Abstract
This talk will provide some historic perspectives on randomization, a foundational principle for causal inference. It will expand a previous talk I gave in the Gonville & Caius College that focused on R A Fisher’s role in the development of randomized experiments (https://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~qz280/post/randomization-origin/).
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
