Contributing to DoWhy#

DoWhy is a PyWhy community project and welcomes contributions.

There are multiple ways to contribute to DoWhy. Here are some examples:

  • Adding a Jupyter notebook that describes the use of DoWhy for solving causal problems.

  • Helping update the documentation for DoWhy.

  • Helping implement a new method for any of the four steps of causal analysis: model, identify, estimate, refute

  • Integrating DoWhy’s API with external implementations for any of the four steps, so that external libraries can be called seamlessly from the identify_effect, estimate_effect or refute_estimate methods.

  • Helping extend the DoWhy API so that we can support new functionality like interpretability of the estimate, counterfactual prediction and more.

If you would like to contribute, you can raise a pull request, see Contributing code for more info. If you have questions before contributing, you can start by opening an issue on Github.
