Graphical Causal Models
This chapter discusses the use of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) for causal inference in the observational social sciences. It focuses on DAGs’ main uses, discusses central principles, and gives applied examples. DAGs are visual representations of qualitative causal assumptions: They encode researchers’ beliefs about how the world works. Straightforward rules map these causal assumptions onto t...
متن کاملGraphical Models for Probabilistic and Causal Reasoning
This chapter surveys the development of graphical models known as Bayesian networks, summarizes their semantical basis and assesses their properties and applications to reasoning and planning. Bayesian networks are directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in which the nodes represent variables of interest (e.g., the temperature of a device, the gender of a patient, a feature of an object, the occurrence ...
متن کاملGraphical models, causal inference, and econometric models
A graphical model is a graph that represents a set of conditional independence relations among the vertices (random variables). The graph is often given a causal interpretation as well. I describe how graphical causal models can be used in an algorithm for constructing partial information about causal graphs from observational data that is reliable in the large sample limit, even when some of t...
متن کاملToward Learning Graphical and Causal Process Models
We describe an approach to learning causal models that leverages temporal information. We posit the existence of a graphical description of a causal process that generates observations through time. We explore assumptions connecting the graphical description with the statistical process and what one can infer about the causal structure of the process under these assumptions.
متن کاملCausal Reasoning in Graphical Time Series Models
We propose a definition of causality for time series in terms of the effect of an intervention in one component of a multivariate time series on another component at some later point in time. Conditions for identifiability, comparable to the back–door and front–door criteria, are presented and can also be verified graphically. Computation of the causal effect is derived and illustrated for the ...
