numpy.dual is dropped from numpy since 1.20.0(https://numpy.org/doc/stable/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecation-of-numpy-dual)

dowhy version: 0.8

Hi, can you try to update your DoWhy version? nump.dual is not used anymore in the newer DoWhy versions. The current version is 0.11.1.

My python version is not compatible, it installs dowhy 0.8. After changing py3.12 to py3.11, I can install latest dowhy. Thanks for your suggestion, it helps a lot !
