Nonlinear Causal Discovery via Kernel Anchor Regression
基于核锚回归的非线性因果发现
Learning causal relationships is a fundamental problem in science. Anchor regression has been developed to address this problem for a large class of causal graphical models, though the relationships between the variables are assumed to be linear. In this work, we tackle the nonlinear setting by proposing kernel anchor regression (KAR). Beyond the natural formulation using a classic two-stage least square estimator, we also study an improved variant that involves…
