Causal structure learning with momentum: Sampling distributions over Markov Equivalence Classes of DAGs

1 code implementation9 Oct 2023 Moritz Schauer, Marcel Wienöbst

In the context of inferring a Bayesian network structure (directed acyclic graph, DAG for short), we devise a non-reversible continuous time Markov chain, the "Causal Zig-Zag sampler", that targets a probability distribution over classes of observationally equivalent (Markov equivalent) DAGs.

Practical Algorithms for Orientations of Partially Directed Graphical Models

1 code implementation28 Feb 2023 Malte Luttermann, Marcel Wienöbst, Maciej Liśkiewicz

In observational studies, the true causal model is typically unknown and needs to be estimated from available observational and limited experimental data.

Causal Discovery

Efficient Enumeration of Markov Equivalent DAGs

1 code implementation28 Jan 2023 Marcel Wienöbst, Malte Luttermann, Max Bannach, Maciej Liśkiewicz

Enumerating the directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of a Markov equivalence class (MEC) is an important primitive in causal analysis.

Linear-Time Algorithms for Front-Door Adjustment in Causal Graphs

1 code implementation29 Nov 2022 Marcel Wienöbst, Benito van der Zander, Maciej Liśkiewicz

In 2022, Jeong, Tian, and Bareinboim presented the first polynomial-time algorithm for finding sets satisfying the front-door criterion in a given directed acyclic graph (DAG), with an $O(n^3(n+m))$ run time, where $n$ denotes the number of variables and $m$ the number of edges of the causal graph.

Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Counting and Sampling Markov Equivalent DAGs with Applications

2 code implementations5 May 2022 Marcel Wienöbst, Max Bannach, Maciej Liśkiewicz

Counting and sampling directed acyclic graphs from a Markov equivalence class are fundamental tasks in graphical causal analysis.

Active Learning

Identification in Tree-shaped Linear Structural Causal Models

no code implementations3 Mar 2022 Benito van der Zander, Marcel Wienöbst, Markus Bläser, Maciej Liśkiewicz

We investigate models, whose directed component forms a tree, and show that there, besides classical instrumental variables, missing cycles of bidirected edges can be used to identify the model.

Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Counting and Sampling Markov Equivalent DAGs

1 code implementation17 Dec 2020 Marcel Wienöbst, Max Bannach, Maciej Liśkiewicz

Counting and uniform sampling of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from a Markov equivalence class are fundamental tasks in graphical causal analysis.

Recovering Causal Structures from Low-Order Conditional Independencies

no code implementations6 Oct 2020 Marcel Wienöbst, Maciej Liśkiewicz

In this paper, we propose an algorithm which, for a given set of conditional independencies of order less or equal to $k$, where $k$ is a small fixed number, computes a faithful graphical representation of the given set.
