Apply NIE to Daisy and the kittens

The first P term is the outcome of the Daisy experiment. It represents the probability of successful house training (Y=1Y = 1), given that we set X to 0 (do not introduce other pets) but set the mediator MM to M1M_1 (the value it would have if we had introduced them). The counterfactual M1M_1 needs to be computed accordingly: different dogs might have different needs for supervision. The second P term is the probability of successful house training of the dog under the condition with no other pets. Here we set X=0X = 0 to reflect that no other pets are present, and M=M0M = M_0 to reflect that we do not introduce the mediator.
