Causal Effect Identification in Alternative Acyclic Directed Mixed Graphs
Alternative acyclic directed mixed graphs (ADMGs) are graphs that may allow causal effect identification in scenarios where Pearl’s original ADMGs may not, and vice versa. Therefore, they complement each other. In this paper, we introduce a sound algorithm for identifying arbitrary causal effects from alternative ADMGs. Moreover, we show that the algorithm is complete for identifying the causal...
متن کاملAlternative Markov and Causal Properties for Acyclic Directed Mixed Graphs
We extend Andersson-Madigan-Perlman chain graphs by (i) relaxing the semidirected acyclity constraint so that only directed cycles are forbidden, and (ii) allowing up to two edges between any pair of nodes. We introduce global, and ordered local and pairwise Markov properties for the new models. We show the equivalence of these properties for strictly positive probability distributions. We also...
متن کاملCausal Inference on Multivariate Mixed Type Data
Given data over the joint distribution of two univariate or multivariate random variables X and Y of mixed or single type data, we consider the problem of inferring the most likely causal direction between X and Y . We take an information theoretic approach, from which it follows that rst describing the data over cause and then that of eect given cause is shorter than the reverse direction. F...
متن کاملSigned directed acyclic graphs for causal inference.
Formal rules governing signed edges on causal directed acyclic graphs are described in this paper and it is shown how these rules can be useful in reasoning about causality. Specifically, the notions of a monotonic effect, a weak monotonic effect and a signed edge are introduced. Results are developed relating these monotonic effects and signed edges to the sign of the causal effect of an inter...
