Direct Estimation of Differences in Causal Graphs
[article]

arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext

We consider the problem of estimating the differences between two causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) models with a shared topological order given i.i.d. samples from each model. ...
This is of interest for example in genomics, where changes in the structure or edge weights of the underlying causal graphs reflect alterations in the gene regulatory networks. ...
Introduction Directed acyclic graph (DAG) models, also known as Bayesian networks, are widely used to model causal relationships in complex systems. ...

This algorithm is efficient in its use of samples and computation since it infers the differences between causal graphs directly without estimating each possibly large causal graph separately. ...
We provide a user-friendly Python implementation of DCI and also enable the user to learn the most robust difference causal graph across different tuning parameters via stability selection. ...
In this paper, we describe the difference causal inference (DCI ) algorithm for direct estimation of the difference causal graph based on observational data from two conditions. ...

Violation of any of these assumptions leads to significant error in the effect estimate. ...
Our experience with DoWhy highlights a number of open questions for future research: developing new ways beyond causal graphs to express assumptions, the role of causal discovery in learning relevant parts ...
Both these graphs can be used to identify the effect and construct an estimator, and the differences in the resultant estimates will help understand the significance of the different causal assumptions ...

The results are given within the context of the directed acyclic graph causal framework and are stated in terms of signed edges. Rigorous definitions for signed edges are provided. ...
We describe cases in which intuition concerning signed edges fails and we characterize the directed acyclic graphs that researchers can use to draw conclusions about the sign of the bias of unmeasured ...
Similarly, if the estimated risk difference controlling only for X is positive and the conditions in (ii) are satisfied, then the estimate of the risk difference is an underestimate of the true causal ...

Bayesian Constraint-based Causal Discovery (BCCD) is a state-of-the-art method for robust causal discovery in the presence of latent variables. ...
It combines probabilistic estimation of Bayesian networks over subsets of variables with a causal logic to infer causal statements. Currently BCCD is limited to discrete or Gaussian variables. ...
To represent the members of this equivalence class, a different type of structure is used, known as a partially directed acyclic graph (PDAG). ...
