GaussDetect-LiNGAM eliminates Gaussianity tests for causal discovery.

problem Causal direction identification without Gaussianity assumptions.
method Leverages the equivalence between noise Gaussianity and residual independence in reverse regression.
result Gaussianity tests replaced with robust kernel-based independence tests.

Identifies causal effects in LiNGAM models with latent variables.

problem Identifying causal effects in LiNGAM models with latent confounders.
method Complete graphical characterization and efficient algorithms for certification. RICA adaptation for estimation.
result Efficient algorithms and RICA adaptation for estimating causal effects.

Structural equation models and Bayesian networks have been widely used to study causal relationships between continuous variables. Recently, a non-Gaussian method called LiNGAM was proposed to discover such causal models and has been extended in various directions. An important problem with LiNGAM is that the results a…

Study explores financial market linkages between Japan and US markets.

problem Inconsistency in empirical studies regarding financial market causal linkages.
method Causal discovery methods including VAR-LiNGAM and LPCMCI with domain knowledge.
result VAR-LiNGAM reveals causal influences among financial markets, while LPCMCI identifies potential latent confounders.

A linear non-Gaussian structural equation model called LiNGAM is an identifiable model for exploratory causal analysis. Previous methods estimate a causal ordering of variables and their connection strengths based on a single dataset. However, in many application domains, data are obtained under different conditions, t…

A very important topic in systems biology is developing statistical methods that automatically find causal relations in gene regulatory networks with no prior knowledge of causal connectivity. Many methods have been developed for time series data. However, discovery methods based on steady-state data are often necessar…

New method identifies causal brain connections from fMRI data.

problem Identifying causal brain interactions from statistical associations.
method ψ-learning incorporated linear non-Gaussian acyclic model (ψψ-LiNGAM).
result Identified three types of hub structures and 16 causal flows.

In this paper we consider sparse and identifiable linear latent variable (factor) and linear Bayesian network models for parsimonious analysis of multivariate data. We propose a computationally efficient method for joint parameter and model inference, and model comparison. It consists of a fully Bayesian hierarchy for …

We consider learning a causal ordering of variables in a linear non-Gaussian acyclic model called LiNGAM. Several existing methods have been shown to consistently estimate a causal ordering assuming that all the model assumptions are correct. But, the estimation results could be distorted if some assumptions actually a…

New algorithm groups variables by ancestral relationships to improve causal graph estimation accuracy.

problem Difficulty in estimating causal graphs with small sample sizes relative to variables.
method CAG algorithm groups variables based on ancestral relationships, reducing complexity and improving accuracy.
result CAG outperforms existing methods in estimation accuracy and computation time.

In recent years, several methods have been proposed for the discovery of causal structure from non-experimental data (Spirtes et al. 2000; Pearl 2000). Such methods make various assumptions on the data generating process to facilitate its identification from purely observational data. Continuing this line of research, …

problem Discovering cause-effect relationships in sparse linear data.
method Uses structural matrix to reconstruct data and identify causal structures without independence tests.
result Outperforms existing methods in sparse causal structure recovery.

problem Discovering causal structures among latent factors from multi-domain data.
method Multi-Domain Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Models (MD-LiNA) with an integrated two-phase algorithm.
result Locally consistent estimators of causal structure among shared latent factors.

Study uses ML and causal analysis to predict student performance factors.

problem Understanding socio-academic and economic factors affecting student performance.
method Employed machine learning techniques and causal analysis on 1,050 student profiles.
result Ridge Regression achieved robust predictions with MAE of 0.12 and MSE of 0.024.

We address the problem of two-variable causal inference without intervention. This task is to infer an existing causal relation between two random variables, i.e. XYX \rightarrow Y or YXY \rightarrow X , from purely observational data. As the option to modify a potential cause is not given in many situations only struc…
