存在部分隐藏变量时的稳健因果结构学习AI 解读

Summary We introduce a new method to estimate the Markov equivalence class of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in the presence of hidden variables, in settings where the underlying DAG among the observed variables is sparse, and there are a few hidden variables that have a direct effect on many of the observed variables. Building on the so-called low rank plus sparse framework, we suggest a two-stage approach which first removes the effect of the hidden variables and then…

稀疏高维环境下从观测数据估计联合干预效应AI 解读

We consider the estimation of joint causal effects from observational data. In particular, we propose new methods to estimate the effect of multiple simultaneous interventions (e.g., multiple gene knockouts), under the assumption that the observational data come from an unknown linear structural equation model with independent errors. We derive asymptotic variances of our estimators when the underlying causal structure is partly known, as well as high-dimensional consistency…
