Operationalizing Longitudinal Causal Discovery Under Real-World Workflow Constraints
现实工作流程约束下的纵向因果发现
Causal discovery has achieved substantial theoretical progress, yet its deployment in large-scale longitudinal systems remains limited. A key obstacle is that operational data are generated under institutional workflows whose induced partial orders are rarely formalized, enlarging the admissible graph space in ways inconsistent with the recording process. We characterize a workflow-induced constraint class for longitudinal causal discovery that restricts the admissible…
