Starting today, the Athena SQL engine uses a cost-based optimizer (CBO), a new feature that uses table and column statistics stored in the AWS Glue Data Catalog as part of the table’s metadata. By using these statistics, CBO improves query run plans and boosts the performance of queries run in Athena.

A naïve way to solve this problem would be to compare the proportion of buyers between the exposed and unexposed groups, using a simple test for equality of means. Identification We now discuss formally the statistical problem of causal inference. We start by describing the problem using standard statistical notation.
