N Okati, SHG Mejia, WR Orchard, P Blöbaum… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Recent work conceptualized root cause analysis (RCA) of anomalies via quantitative
contribution analysis using causal counterfactuals in structural causal models (SCMs). The …

Root Cause Explanation of Outliers under Noisy Mechanisms

P Nguyen, T Tran, S Gupta, T Nguyen… - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2024 - ojs.aaai.org
Identifying root causes of anomalies in causal processes is vital across disciplines. Once
identified, one can isolate the root causes and implement necessary measures to restore the …

D Janzing, K Budhathoki, L Minorics… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
We describe a formal approach to identify'root causes' of outliers observed in $ n $ variables
$ X_1,\dots, X_n $ in a scenario where the causal relation between the variables is a known …

TSLiNGAM: DirectLiNGAM under heavy tails

S Leyder, J Raymaekers, T Verdonck - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.05422, 2023 - arxiv.org
One of the established approaches to causal discovery consists of combining directed
acyclic graphs (DAGs) with structural causal models (SCMs) to describe the functional …

Causal structure-based root cause analysis of outliers

K Budhathoki, L Minorics, P Blöbaum… - … on Machine Learning, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Current techniques for explaining outliers cannot tell what caused the outliers. We present a
formal method to identify" root causes" of outliers, amongst variables. The method requires a …

This paper presents an approach for identifying the root causes of collective anomalies
given observational time series and an acyclic summary causal graph which depicts an …

Deconfounded score method: Scoring DAGs with dense unobserved confounding

A Bellot, M van der Schaar - arXiv preprint arXiv:2103.15106, 2021 - arxiv.org
Unobserved confounding is one of the greatest challenges for causal discovery. The case in
which unobserved variables have a widespread effect on many of the observed ones is …

A Diagnostic Tool for Functional Causal Discovery

S Prakash, F Xia, E Erosheva - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.07787, 2024 - arxiv.org
Causal discovery methods aim to determine the causal direction between variables using
observational data. Functional causal discovery methods, such as those based on the …

Unsuitability of NOTEARS for causal graph discovery

M Kaiser, M Sipos - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.05441, 2021 - arxiv.org
Causal Discovery methods aim to identify a DAG structure that represents causal
