Causal Inference in Multi-Agent Causal Models
This paper treats the calculation of the effect of an intervention (also called causal effect) on a variable from a combination of observational data and some theoretical assumptions. Observational data implies that the modeler has no way to do experiments to assess the effect of one variable on some others, instead he possesses data collected by observing variables in the domain he is investig...
متن کاملPrediction and experimental design with graphical causal models
We unify two contemporary theoretical frameworks for representing causal dependencies. Directed graphical models were introduced and developed by Kiiveri, Speed, Wermuth, Lauritzen, Pearl and others. Rubin introduced a framework for analyzing the relation between the conditional probability of Y on X and the distribution Y would have if X were forced to have a particular value. Pratt and Schlai...
متن کاملNegotiation for Calculating Causal Effects in Bi-Agent Causal Models
In this paper we introduce the paradigm of multi-agent causal models (MACM), which are an extension of causal graphical models to a setting where there is no longer one single computational entity (agent) observing or not observing all the domain variables V. Instead there are several agents each having access to non-disjoint subsets of V. The incentive for introducing cooperative multiagent mo...
متن کاملIdentification of Causal Effects in Multi-Agent Causal Models
In this paper we introduce multi-agent causal models (MACMs) which are an extension of causal Bayesian networks to a multi-agent setting. Instead of 1 single agent modeling the entire domain, there are several agents each modeling non-disjoint subsets of the domain. Every agent has a causal model, determined by an acyclic causal diagram and a joint probability distribution over its observed var...
متن کاملCreating Causal Models
The Problem The task of developing qualitative and causal reasoning systems to perform problem solving on physical systems has two aspects : (1) Designing representations for structure, behavior, and causality within which to describe the physical systems of interest and their constituent objects and processes, and (2) Developing algorithms which operate on the chosen representation to efficien...
