New C-DMG Framework for Causal Inference in Complex Systems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper introduces cluster-directed mixed graphs (C-DMGs) as a novel framework for causal inference in complex systems where complete causal knowledge is unavailable. C-DMGs represent causal relationships at a higher level by grouping variables into clusters, allowing for the analysis of macro causal effects between these clusters. The research establishes the soundness and completeness of the do-calculus for identifying these macro effects in C-DMGs over ADMGs, even when cluster sizes are unknown or greater than one. Additionally, the paper provides a graphical method to identify when macro causal effects are not identifiable within these structures. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new graphical model for causal inference, potentially improving analysis in complex, partially specified systems.

    Identifying Macro Causal Effects in a C-DMG over ADMGs

    arXiv:2504.01551v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal effect identification using causal graphs is a fundamental challenge in causal inference. While extensive research has been conducted in this area, most existing methods assume the availability of fully specified directed…
