Researchers have introduced Loscar, a new framework for causal discovery that extends the RESIT method to location-scale noise models (LSNMs). Unlike previous LSNM methods that rely on parametric assumptions for residual estimation, Loscar employs nonparametric estimation using quantile regression. This approach allows for the integration of pretrained tabular foundation models as plug-in estimators. In benchmark comparisons, Loscar demonstrated substantial performance improvements over feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) variants, particularly in multivariate causal discovery scenarios with flexible function classes.
