New causal model distinguishes static from evolutionary selection

Researchers have introduced a new causal model to distinguish between static and evolutionary selection in data. Existing methods often conflate these two processes, leading to inaccurate causal discovery, particularly in evolutionary contexts like biological adaptation or social norm emergence. The proposed model specifically characterizes evolutionary selection and includes a procedure for identifying these mechanisms from data, with experimental results validating its effectiveness. AI

    Causal Modeling of Selection in Evolution

    arXiv:2606.05689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding potential selection in data is crucial for causal discovery; we argue that "selection" in common narratives takes two forms, which we term static and evolutionary selection, respectively. Static selection refers to a o…
