Inferring causal networks from observations and interventions
Information about the structure of a causal system can come in the form of observational data— random samples of the system’s autonomous behavior—or interventional data—samples conditioned on the particular values of one or more variables that have been experimentally manipulated. Here we study people’s ability to infer causal structure from both observation and intervention, and to choose info...
متن کاملInferring causal phenotype networks from segregating populations.
A major goal in the study of complex traits is to decipher the causal interrelationships among correlated phenotypes. Current methods mostly yield undirected networks that connect phenotypes without causal orientation. Some of these connections may be spurious due to partial correlation that is not causal. We show how to build causal direction into an undirected network of phenotypes by includi...
متن کاملAlignment and Assembly: Inferring Networks from Noisy Observations
Over recent years, many large network datasets have become available, giving rise to novel and valuable applications of data mining and machine learning techniques. These datasets include social networks, the structure of the internet, and protein-interaction networks in computational biology, to name just a few. Graph mining exploits information hidden in these data to shed light on such probl...
متن کاملInferring Causal History from Shape
The shape of on object often seems to tell us something about the object’s history; that is, the processes of growth, pushing, stretching, resistance, indentation, ond so on, that formed the object. A theory is offered here of how people are able to infer the causal history of natural objects such as clouds, tumors, embryos, leoves, geological formations, and the like. Two inference problems ar...
متن کاملReconstructing gene regulation networks from passive observations and active interventions
A Bayesian network is a graph-based representation of a joint probability distribution that captures properties of conditional independence between variables. This representation consists of two components. The first component is a directed acyclic graph (DAG), where the nodes represent genes and arrows between nodes indicate that one gene directly regulates the expression of another gene. The ...
