New PAC-Causal Learnability Framework Formalizes Finite-Sample Guarantees

Researchers have introduced PAC-Causal Learnability (PACC), a new framework that formalizes uniform accuracy-confidence guarantees for causal models using finite sample sizes. This approach addresses the gap between theoretical causal identification and practical estimation by defining sample complexity based on causal identification strength, target complexity, and nuisance complexity. The framework is illustrated through analyses of self-controlled case series, instrumental variables, and propensity-score-based estimation methods, providing a unified approach to understanding finite-sample causal learning.

    PAC-Causal Learnability: From Identification to Finite-Sample Guarantees

    arXiv:2507.18903v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Causal identification asks whether a causal target can be recovered from the observational distribution in an idealized infinite-data setting. In practice, only finite samples are available, and identifiability alone does …
