We prove the main rules of causal calculus (also called do-calculus) for i/o structural causal models (ioSCMs), a generalization of a recently proposed general class of non-/linear structural causal models that allow for cycles, latent confounders and arbitrary probability distributions. We also generalize adjustment criteria and formulas from the acyclic setting to the general one (i.e. ioSCMs). Such criteria then allow to estimate (conditional) causal effects from observational data that was… Expand

Foundations of structural causal models with cycles and latent variables
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• The Annals of Statistics
• 2021
The foundations for a general theory of statistical causal modeling with SCMs are provided, allowing for the presence of both latent confounders and cycles, and a class of simple SCMs is introduced that extends the class of acyclic SCMs to the cyclic setting, while preserving many of the convenient properties.

Causal Inference Theory with Information Dependency Models
• Computer Science, Mathematics
• ArXiv
• 2021
This paper captures causality without reference to graphs or functional dependencies, but with information fields and Witsenhausen’s intrinsic model, and explains why, in the presence of cycles, the theory of causal inference might require different tools, depending on whether the random variables are discrete or continuous.

Learning Optimal Cyclic Causal Graphs from Interventional Data
• Computer Science
• PGM
• 2020
This work generalizes bcause, a recent exact branch-and-bound causal discovery approach, to this setting, integrating support for the sigma-separation criterion and several interventional datasets, and empirically evaluates bcause and the refined ASP-approach. Expand
Joint Causal Inference from Multiple Contexts
• Computer Science
• J. Mach. Learn. Res.
• 2020
This work introduces Joint Causal Inference, a novel approach to causal discovery from multiple data sets from different contexts that elegantly unifies both approaches and concludes that JCI implementations can considerably outperform state-of-the-art causal discovery algorithms. Expand
Multivariate Counterfactual Systems And Causal Graphical Models
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• 2020
This chapter shows that d-separation} provides direct insight into an earlier causal model originally described in terms of potential outcomes and event trees, which leads to a simplification of the do-calculus that clarifies and separates the underlying concepts. Expand
Potential Outcome and Directed Acyclic Graph Approaches to Causality: Relevance for Empirical Practice in Economics

Info Intervention
• Computer Science, Mathematics
• ArXiv
• 2019
It turns out that info intervention $\sigma(\cdot)$-operator is very competitive in formalizing causal queries, identification of cause-effect, and it can solve (or alleviate) some issues in the existing causal notations. Expand
Causal Shapley Values: Exploiting Causal Knowledge to Explain Individual Predictions of Complex Models
• Computer Science
• NeurIPS
• 2020
A novel framework for computing Shapley values that generalizes recent work that aims to circumvent the independence assumption is proposed and it is shown how these 'causal' Shapleyvalues can be derived for general causal graphs without sacrificing any of their desirable properties. Expand

This paper integrates RA and BN via a lattice of structures that offers an expanded set of models to represent complex systems more accurately or more simply and offers an algorithm to search the joint RA-BN neutral system lattice to find the best representation of system structure from underlying system variables.

The closedness of {\sigma}-separation under marginalisation and conditioning is proved and this leads to the first causal discovery algorithm that can handle non-linear functional relations, latent confounders, cyclic causal relationships, and data from different (stochastic) perfect interventions.
