Researchers have developed a new methodology to recover the causal diffusion mechanism of sparse multivariate stochastic systems from cross-sectional data. This approach is particularly relevant for applications like gene expression analysis where destructive experiments may limit data collection. The proposed method assumes the system follows a time-homogeneous diffusion process that has reached an equilibrium distribution, and that the causal structure graph is known and acyclic. A non-parametric kernel estimator is derived and proven to be consistent, with a cross-validation scheme for hyperparameter tuning. AI
