- It reports DoWhy 0.14 estimates using backdoor adjustment with linear regression; graph combinations were pre-run with three 100-simulation refutation tests.
Field notes
The controls let visitors move blocks and draw, reverse, or remove arrows before comparing total and direct effects. The page says the displayed combinations were calculated in advance, with three refutation tests of 100 simulations each, and names DoWhy 0.14 with linear regression. Its source is an ONS 2023 dataset released under the Open Government Licence; cities and London are excluded.
