  • [Major] Faster backdoor identification with support for minimal adjustment, maximal adjustment
    or exhaustive search. More test coverage for identification.

  • [Major] Added new functionality of causal discovery [Experimental].
    DoWhy now supports discovery algorithms from external libraries like CDT.
    Example notebook

  • [Major] Implemented ID algorithm for causal identification. [Experimental]

  • Added friendly text-based interpretation for DoWhy's effect estimate.

  • Added a new estimation method, distance matching that relies on a distance
    metrics between inputs.

  • Heuristics to infer default parameters for refuters.

  • Inferring default strata automatically for propensity score stratification.

  • Added support for custom propensity models in propensity-based estimation
    methods.

  • Bug fixes for confidence intervals for linear regression. Better version of
    bootstrap method.

  • Allow effect estimation without need to refit the model for econml estimators
