Topological Ignorability for Structural Causal Effects Beyond Means
Researchers have developed new methods to measure causal effects in data that go beyond simple averages. These methods use topological and geometrical properties of outcome distributions to capture structural changes caused by interventions. The proposed framework, called topological ignorability, allows for the identification of specific structural features of interest even when traditional causal assumptions like conditional ignorability do not fully hold.
