Dependence Minimizing Regression with Model Selection for Non-Linear Causal Inference under Non-Gaussian Noise
The discovery of non-linear causal relationship under additive non-Gaussian noise models has attracted considerable attention recently because of their high flexibility. In this paper, we propose a novel causal inference algorithm called least-squares independence regression (LSIR). LSIR learns the additive noise model through minimization of an estimator of the squaredloss mutual information b...
متن کاملNon-linear Causal Inference using Gaussianity Measures
We provide theoretical and empirical evidence for a type of asymmetry between causes and effects that is present when these are related via linear models contaminated with additive non-Gaussian noise. Assuming that the causes and the effects have the same distribution, we show that the distribution of the residuals of a linear fit in the anti-causal direction is closer to a Gaussian than the di...
متن کاملDetecting non-causal artifacts in multivariate linear regression models
We consider linear models where d potential causes X1, . . . , Xd are correlated with one target quantity Y and propose a method to infer whether the association is causal or whether it is an artifact caused by overfitting or hidden common causes. We employ the idea that in the former case the vector of regression coefficients has ‘generic’ orientation relative to the covariance matrix ΣXX of X...
متن کاملLinear grouping using orthogonal regression
This paper proposes a new method, called linear grouping algorithm (LGA), to detect different linear structures in a data set. LGA is useful for investigating potential linear patterns in datasets, that is, subsets that follow different linear relationships. LGA combines ideas from principal components, clustering methods and resampling algorithms. It can detect several different linear relatio...
متن کاملCausal & Non-Causal Feature Selection for Ridge Regression
In this paper we investigate the use of causal and non-causal feature selection methods for linear classifiers in situations where the causal relationships between the input and response variables may differ between the training and operational data. The causal feature selection methods investigated include inference of the Markov Blanket and inference of direct causes and of direct effects. Th...
