存在混杂的均衡系统：可解释因果图模型AI 解读

In applications, quantities of interest are often modelled in equilibrium or an equilibrium solution is sought. The presence of confounding makes causal inference in this setting challenging. We provide interpretable graphical models for equilibrium systems with confounding using anterial graphs (Lauritzen and Sadeghi, 2018), a class of graphs containing directed acyclic graphs, ancestral graphs, and chain graphs. In this setting, we provide valid graphical representations…

基于约束的因果学习：正确性条件的一般框架AI 解读

Most constraint-based causal learning algorithms provably return the correct causal graph under certain correctness conditions, such as faithfulness. By representing any constraint-based causal learning algorithm using the notion of a property, we provide a general framework to obtain and study correctness conditions for these algorithms. From the framework, we provide exact correctness conditions for the PC algorithm, which are then related to the correctness conditions of…

超越马尔可夫等价类的稳健因果效应识别AI 解读

Causal effect identification typically requires a fully specified causal graph, which can be difficult to obtain in practice. We provide a sufficient criterion for identifying causal effects from a candidate set of Markov equivalence classes with added background knowledge, which represents cases where determining the causal graph up to a single Markov equivalence class is challenging. Such cases can happen, for example, when the untestable assumptions (e.g. faithfulness)…
