New Dynamic Structural Causal Models paper introduced on arXiv

Philip Boeken has introduced Dynamic Structural Causal Models (DSCMs) in a new arXiv paper. These models are designed to represent time-dependent systems, including those with cyclic time and latent confounding variables. The research outlines how DSCMs can be applied to systems of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), establishing a graphical Markov property for such systems. The paper also details operations for analyzing local independence and subsampling time-series data, with potential applications in identifying causal effects of time-dependent interventions and adapting causal discovery algorithms.

IMPACT Introduces a new framework for causal inference in time-series data, potentially advancing AI's ability to understand and model dynamic systems.

    Dynamic Structural Causal Models

    arXiv:2406.01161v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study a specific type of SCM, called a Dynamic Structural Causal Model (DSCM), whose endogenous variables represent functions of time, which is possibly cyclic and allows for latent confounding. As a motivating use-case…
