Causal interpretation of graphical models

چکیده
Shafer and Vovk have shown how to base probability theory on game theory. In this framework, we give probabilities an empirical predictive meaning by means of a form Cournot's principle, which says that reality will not permit gambler win disproportionately the capital he risks. How does principle apply causal interpretation graphical models?

Graphical Causal Models
This chapter discusses the use of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) for causal inference in the observational social sciences. It focuses on DAGs’ main uses, discusses central principles, and gives applied examples. DAGs are visual representations of qualitative causal assumptions: They encode researchers’ beliefs about how the world works. Straightforward rules map these causal assumptions onto t...
متن کاملGraphical models, causal inference, and econometric models
A graphical model is a graph that represents a set of conditional independence relations among the vertices (random variables). The graph is often given a causal interpretation as well. I describe how graphical causal models can be used in an algorithm for constructing partial information about causal graphs from observational data that is reliable in the large sample limit, even when some of t...
متن کاملCausal Models Frame 1 Running head: CAUSAL INTERPRETATION OF EQUATIONS Causal Models Frame Interpretation of Mathematical Equations
We offer evidence that people construe mathematical relations as causal. The studies show that people can select the causal versions of equations, and that their selections predict both what they consider most understandable and their expectations of change. When asked to write down equations, people have a strong preference for the version that matches their causal model. Causal Models Frame 3...
متن کاملGraphical Models for Probabilistic and Causal Reasoning
This chapter surveys the development of graphical models known as Bayesian networks, summarizes their semantical basis and assesses their properties and applications to reasoning and planning. Bayesian networks are directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in which the nodes represent variables of interest (e.g., the temperature of a device, the gender of a patient, a feature of an object, the occurrence ...
متن کاملToward Learning Graphical and Causal Process Models
We describe an approach to learning causal models that leverages temporal information. We posit the existence of a graphical description of a causal process that generates observations through time. We explore assumptions connecting the graphical description with the statistical process and what one can infer about the causal structure of the process under these assumptions.
