Targeted Learning Causal Inference for Observational and Experimental Data

From the reviews:

“This book is a timely fit and is expected to draw much attention from researchers in the field of causal inference. The book explains the concept of targeted learning, which is an enhanced procedure for estimating targeted causal estimands under the potential outcome framework. … Excellent summaries of complex estimation procedures and methods are ubiquitous, which will be helpful for the nontechnical readers of the book. … This book appears to be a useful reference for Ph.D. students in biostatistics programs.” (Joseph Kang, Journal of the American Statistical Association, June, 2013)
