A new paper introduces a geometric intuition for understanding "meta-dependence" between conditional independence tests, which are crucial for feature screening and causal discovery. The authors propose a computable measure for this meta-dependence, utilizing moment projections and offering a closed-form solution for multivariate Gaussian distributions. This measure can be calculated directly from summary statistics like a covariance matrix and has been empirically validated on synthetic and real-world data, with potential applications in tuning significance thresholds for improved causal discovery.
