Professor Donald Rubin, John L Loeb Professor of Statistics at Harvard University, will be giving a special lecture on methodological issues in the evaluation of a job-training programme. The lecture will take place 5.30-6.30pm, Tuesday 12 October at the British Academy in London, and will be followed by a reception.

Don Rubin has made, and continues to make, many important contributions to statistical methodology and its wider application. He is a leading authority on causal inference in experiments and observational studies. In the 1970s he developed an influential common framework for causal analysis which continues to underpin cutting-edge research in both mathematical statistics and quantitative social science. The lecture will draw on his research in this field with examples from both social science and medicine.
