Researchers have developed AutoCause, an open-source Python framework designed to standardize and automate the process of causal discovery in environmental time-series data. This framework addresses inconsistencies in expert decision-making regarding method selection, lag horizons, and statistical tests, which previously hindered reproducibility and auditability. AutoCause integrates four established causal discovery methods and provides auditable decision trails, allowing for more reliable and repeatable analyses while still leaving the final causal interpretation to the analyst.
