New framework enhances causal inference with reliable uncertainty quantification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework called Deconditional Gaussian Process (DGP) to improve causal inference methods, specifically instrumental variable (IV) and proximal causal learning (Proxy). This framework addresses the limitation of existing methods by providing reliable epistemic uncertainty quantification. The DGP framework integrates popular kernel estimators and offers principled, well-calibrated uncertainty through posterior variance, enabling systematic model selection via marginal log-likelihood optimization. Empirical results show strong predictive performance and informative uncertainty quantification. AI

    Instrumental and Proximal Causal Inference with Gaussian Processes

    arXiv:2603.02159v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Instrumental variable (IV) and proximal causal learning (Proxy) methods are central frameworks for causal inference in the presence of unobserved confounding. Despite substantial methodological advances, existing approaches rare…
