Recursive Causal Discovery

1 code implementation14 Mar 2024 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Sepehr Elahi, Sina Akbari, Negar Kiyavash

Presence and identification of removable variables allow recursive approaches for causal discovery, a promising solution that helps to address the aforementioned challenges by reducing the problem size successively.

s-ID: Causal Effect Identification in a Sub-Population

1 code implementation5 Sep 2023 Amir Mohammad Abouei, Ehsan Mokhtarian, Negar Kiyavash

We introduce and advocate for a causal inference problem in sub-populations (henceforth called s-ID), in which we merely have access to observational data of the targeted sub-population (as opposed to the entire population).

Novel Ordering-based Approaches for Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Unobserved Variables

no code implementations14 Aug 2022 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Mohammadsadegh Khorasani, Jalal Etesami, Negar Kiyavash

We propose ordering-based approaches for learning the maximal ancestral graph (MAG) of a structural equation model (SEM) up to its Markov equivalence class (MEC) in the presence of unobserved variables.

Revisiting the General Identifiability Problem

no code implementations2 Jun 2022 Yaroslav Kivva, Ehsan Mokhtarian, Jalal Etesami, Negar Kiyavash

A nice property of this new algorithm is that it establishes a connection between general identifiability and classical identifiability by Pearl [1995] through decomposing the general identifiability problem into a series of classical identifiability sub-problems.

A Unified Experiment Design Approach for Cyclic and Acyclic Causal Models

1 code implementation20 May 2022 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Saber Salehkaleybar, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

We study experiment design for unique identification of the causal graph of a simple SCM, where the graph may contain cycles.

Causal Effect Identification with Context-specific Independence Relations of Control Variables

1 code implementation22 Oct 2021 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Fateme Jamshidi, Jalal Etesami, Negar Kiyavash

We study the problem of causal effect identification from observational distribution given the causal graph and some context-specific independence (CSI) relations.

Recursive Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Latent Variables and Selection Bias

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Sina Akbari, Ehsan Mokhtarian, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

The upper bound of our proposed approach and the lower bound at most differ by a factor equal to the number of variables in the worst case.

A Recursive Markov Boundary-Based Approach to Causal Structure Learning

1 code implementation10 Oct 2020 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Sina Akbari, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

In this paper, we propose a novel recursive constraint-based method for causal structure learning that significantly reduces the required number of CI tests compared to the existing literature.
