The do-calculus revisited

J Pearl - arXiv preprint arXiv:1210.4852, 2012 - arxiv.org
The do-calculus was developed in 1995 to facilitate the identification of causal effects in non-
parametric models. The completeness proofs of [Huang and Valtorta, 2006] and [Shpitser …

The process of transporting and synthesizing experimental findings from heterogeneous
data collections to construct causal explanations is arguably one of the most central and …

Identifying causal effects with the R package causaleffect

S Tikka, J Karvanen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1806.07161, 2018 - arxiv.org
Do-calculus is concerned with estimating the interventional distribution of an action from the
observed joint probability distribution of the variables in a given causal structure. All …

Meta-transportability of causal effects: A formal approach

E Bareinboim, J Pearl - Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, 2013 - proceedings.mlr.press

heterogeneous domains to a different environment, in which only passive observations can …

On multi-cause causal inference with unobserved confounding: Counterexamples, impossibility, and alternatives

A D'Amour - arXiv preprint arXiv:1902.10286, 2019 - arxiv.org
Unobserved confounding is a central barrier to drawing causal inferences from
observational data. Several authors have recently proposed that this barrier can be …

On the testable implications of causal models with hidden variables

J Tian, J Pearl - arXiv preprint arXiv:1301.0608, 2012 - arxiv.org
The validity OF a causal model can be tested ONLY IF the model imposes constraints ON
the probability distribution that governs the generated data. IN the presence OF unmeasured …
