Kernel-Based Differentiable Learning of Non-Parametric Directed Acyclic Graphical Models

no code implementations20 Aug 2024 Yurou Liang, Oleksandr Zadorozhnyi, Mathias Drton

Recent research has sought to bypass the combinatorial search by reformulating causal discovery as a continuous optimization problem, employing constraints that ensure the acyclicity of the graph.

Causal Discovery of Linear Non-Gaussian Causal Models with Unobserved Confounding

1 code implementation9 Aug 2024 Daniela Schkoda, Elina Robeva, Mathias Drton

In this setting, the causal structure is identifiable, but, in general, it is not possible to identify the specific causal effects.

Causal Effect Identification in LiNGAM Models with Latent Confounders

1 code implementation4 Jun 2024 Daniele Tramontano, Yaroslav Kivva, Saber Salehkaleybar, Mathias Drton, Negar Kiyavash

We study the generic identifiability of causal effects in linear non-Gaussian acyclic models (LiNGAM) with latent variables.

Parameter identification in linear non-Gaussian causal models under general confounding

no code implementations31 May 2024 Daniele Tramontano, Mathias Drton, Jalal Etesami

Finally, we report on estimation heuristics based on the identification result, explore a generalization to models with feedback loops, and provide new results on the identifiability of the causal graph.

$\texttt{causalAssembly}$: Generating Realistic Production Data for Benchmarking Causal Discovery

1 code implementation19 Jun 2023 Konstantin Göbler, Tobias Windisch, Mathias Drton, Tim Pychynski, Steffen Sonntag, Martin Roth

We use the assembly line data and associated ground truth information to build a system for generation of semisynthetic manufacturing data that supports benchmarking of causal discovery methods.

Learning Linear Non-Gaussian Polytree Models

1 code implementation13 Aug 2022 Daniele Tramontano, Anthea Monod, Mathias Drton

In the context of graphical causal discovery, we adapt the versatile framework of linear non-Gaussian acyclic models (LiNGAMs) to propose new algorithms to efficiently learn graphs that are polytrees.

Graphical Representations for Algebraic Constraints of Linear Structural Equations Models

The observational characteristics of a linear structural equation model can be effectively described by polynomial constraints on the observed covariance matrix.

Interaction Models and Generalized Score Matching for Compositional Data

no code implementations10 Sep 2021 Shiqing Yu, Mathias Drton, Ali Shojaie

Applications such as the analysis of microbiome data have led to renewed interest in statistical methods for compositional data, i. e., multivariate data in the form of probability vectors that contain relative proportions.

Definite Non-Ancestral Relations and Structure Learning

1 code implementation20 May 2021 Wenyu Chen, Mathias Drton, Ali Shojaie

Ancestral relations between variables play an important role in causal modeling.

Generalized Score Matching for General Domains

no code implementations24 Sep 2020 Shiqing Yu, Mathias Drton, Ali Shojaie

Score matching provides a powerful tool for estimating densities with such intractable normalizing constants, but as originally proposed is limited to densities on $\mathbb{R}^m$ and $\mathbb{R}_+^m$.

Structure Learning for Cyclic Linear Causal Models

We consider the problem of structure learning for linear causal models based on observational data.

Statistical significance in high-dimensional linear mixed models

1 code implementation16 Dec 2019 Lina Lin, Mathias Drton, Ali Shojaie

Our framework is inspired by a recent line of work that proposes de-biasing penalized estimators to perform inference for high-dimensional linear models with fixed effects only.

Generalized Score Matching for Non-Negative Data

no code implementations26 Dec 2018 Shiqing Yu, Mathias Drton, Ali Shojaie

The score matching method of Hyv\"arinen [2005] avoids direct calculation of the normalizing constant and yields closed-form estimates for exponential families of continuous distributions over $\mathbb{R}^m$.

On Causal Discovery with Equal Variance Assumption

2 code implementations9 Jul 2018 Wenyu Chen, Mathias Drton, Y. Samuel Wang

Prior work has shown that causal structure can be uniquely identified from observational data when these follow a structural equation model whose error terms have equal variances.

A graphical model is a statistical model that is associated to a graph whose nodes correspond to variables of interest.

We clarify how in this case real log-canonical thresholds can be computed using polyhedral geometry, and we show how to apply the general theory to the Laplace integrals associated with Gaussian latent tree and forest models.
