What the paper says

Machine learning is widely recognised and extensively used for data modelling and prediction across fields, including business and healthcare, to name a few of them, for informed decision-making. Numerous machine learning algorithms have been devised and deployed across multiple programming languages throughout the preceding decades for causal inference and discovery. This research, however, briefly introduces causal inference and discovery methods, accompanied by Python code for beginners. First, this study talks about machine learning in brief. Then, this study differentiates between causal discovery and causal inference. Thirdly, the study aims to describe popular machine-learning methods. Finally, this paper demonstrates the practical uses of these causal inference and discovery packages in Python. The study has recommended future research and implications for using machine learning methods.
