Using Heteroscedasticity for Causal Discovery under Hidden Confounding
利用异方差在隐藏混杂下进行因果发现
The presence of hidden confounding in observational studies poses a fundamental challenge to the identification and estimation of causal structures encoded by directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). While instrumental variables (IVs) have been widely used to address hidden confounding, most existing methods require valid instruments, which may be unavailable in practice. In this paper, we develop a novel framework for causal discovery and inference in DAGs that accommodates both…
