ParKCa: Causal Inference with Partially Known Causes

17 Mar 2020  ·  Raquel Aoki, Martin Ester ·

Methods for causal inference from observational data are an alternative for scenarios where collecting counterfactual data or realizing a randomized experiment is not possible. Adopting a stacking approach, our proposed method ParKCA combines the results of several causal inference methods to learn new causes in applications with some known causes and many potential causes. We validate ParKCA in two Genome-wide association studies, one real-world and one simulated dataset. Our results show that ParKCA can infer more causes than existing methods.
