Turing Award winner Judea Pearl (UCLA) looks at how math can demystify data-intensive research in the social sciences, economics, medicine, population health, and beyond. Pearl, widely credited with creating the computational foundation for processing information under uncertainty, will discuss sample-selection bias, external validity, generalizing from experiments, and incorporating data from diverse studies.
