The relative value of interventional and observational samples in Bayesian Causal Linear Gaussian Models
贝叶斯线性高斯因果模型中干预与观测样本的相对价值
We investigate the asymptotic properties of Bayesian bivariate causal discovery for Gaussian Linear Structural Equation Models (SEMs) with heteroscedastic noise. We demonstrate that with purely observational data, the posterior distribution over the models fails to consistently identify the true causal structure - a consequence of the fundamental non-identifiability within the Markov Equivalence Class. Specifically, if the true generating mechanism corresponds to a connected…
