Signed directed acyclic graphs for causal inference.
Formal rules governing signed edges on causal directed acyclic graphs are described in this paper and it is shown how these rules can be useful in reasoning about causality. Specifically, the notions of a monotonic effect, a weak monotonic effect and a signed edge are introduced. Results are developed relating these monotonic effects and signed edges to the sign of the causal effect of an inter...
متن کاملCausal Ordering in Deterministic Overlay Networks
This paper formally proves that constrained flooding along the logical links of a deterministic overlay network preserves causal ordering, yet does not induce any control information overhead. The paper also analyzes the performance of such a mechanism when implemented over a hypercube overlay, and compares it to running a timestamp based protocol over a flat architecture. The hypercube overlay...
متن کاملNoise-Driven Causal Inference in Biomolecular Networks
Single-cell RNA and protein concentrations dynamically fluctuate because of stochastic ("noisy") regulation. Consequently, biological signaling and genetic networks not only translate stimuli with functional response but also random fluctuations. Intuitively, this feature manifests as the accumulation of fluctuations from the network source to the target. Taking advantage of the fact that noise...
متن کاملA direct method for estimating a causal ordering in a linear non-Gaussian acyclic model
Structural equation models and Bayesian networks have been widely used to analyze causal relations between continuous variables. In such frameworks, linear acyclic models are typically used to model the datagenerating process of variables. Recently, it was shown that use of non-Gaussianity identifies a causal ordering of variables in a linear acyclic model without using any prior knowledge on t...
