Inferring Causality from Time Series data based on Structural Causal Model and its application to Neural Connectomics
基于结构因果模型的时间序列因果推断及其神经连接组应用
Inferring causation from time series data is of scientific interest in different disciplines, particularly in neural connectomics. While different approaches exist in the literature with parametric modeling assumptions, we focus on a non-parametric model for time series satisfying a Markovian structural causal model with stationary distribution and without concurrent effects. We show that the model structure can be used to its advantage to obtain an elegant algorithm for…
