performing-causal-analysis
Estimate causal effects from existing data. Use when fitting or interpreting DiD, ITS, synthetic control, regression discontinuity, or other treatment-effect analyses, including robustness checks and counterfactual plots. For choosing a study design before analysis, use designing-experiments instead.

# Performing Causal Analysis
Executes causal analysis on existing data. This skill owns model setup, treatment-effect estimation, counterfactual comparison, robustness checks, and interpretation of fitted causal results.
It does not own the earlier question of which experiment or quasi-experiment should be designed before analysis begins.
## Workflow
1. **Load Data**: Ensure data is in a Pandas DataFrame.
2. **Initialize Experiment**: Use the appropriate class (see References).
3. **Fit & Model**: Models are fitted automatically upon initialization if arguments are provided.
4. **Analyze Results**: Use `summary()`, `print_coefficients()`, and `plot()`.
