Causal Regularization: On the trade-off between in-sample risk and out-of-sample risk guarantees
因果正则化:样本内风险与样本外风险保证的权衡
Invariant prediction uses the prediction stability of causal relationships across different environments to identify causal variables. Conversely, using causal variables gives prediction guarantees even in out-of-sample data settings. In this paper, we investigate the identification of causal-like models from in-sample data that ensure out-of-sample risk guarantees when predicting a target variable from an arbitrary set of covariates. Ordinary least squares minimizes…
