<p>Today's episode is all about Causal Impact, a technique for estimating the impact of a particular event on a time series. We talk to <a href="http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/W.Martin/">William Martin</a> about his research into the impact releases have on app and we also chat with <a href="https://twitter.com/kjblakemore">Karen Blakemore</a> about a project she helped us build to explore the impact of a Saturday Night Live appearance on a musician's career.</p> <p>Martin's work culminated in a paper <a href="http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/W.Martin/pubs/Martin_FSE_Causal_PrePrint.pdf"> Causal Impact for App Store Analysis</a>. A shorter summary version can be found <a href="http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/W.Martin/pubs/Martin_ACM_SRC_cameraReady.pdf"> here</a>. His company helping app developers do this sort of analysis can be found at <a href="http://crestweb.cs.ucl.ac.uk/appredict/">crestweb.cs.ucl.ac.uk/appredict/</a>.</p>
