Causal stability ranking
Genotypic causes of a phenotypic trait are typically determined via randomized controlled intervention experiments. Such experiments are often prohibitive with respect to durations and costs, and informative prioritization of experiments is desirable. We therefore consider predicting stable rankings of genes (covariates), according to their total causal effects on a phenotype (response), from o...
متن کاملStability of Causal Inference
We consider the sensitivity of causal identification to small perturbations in the input. A long line of work culminating in papers by Shpitser and Pearl (2006) and Huang and Valtorta (2008) led to a complete procedure for the causal identification problem. In our main result in this paper, we show that the identification function computed by these procedures is in some cases extremely unstable...
متن کاملStability and Generalization of Bipartite Ranking Algorithms
The problem of ranking, in which the goal is to learn a real-valued ranking function that induces a ranking or ordering over an instance space, has recently gained attention in machine learning. We study generalization properties of ranking algorithms, in a particular setting of the ranking problem known as the bipartite ranking problem, using the notion of algorithmic stability. In particular,...
متن کاملStability ranking with the staRank package
Stability ranking can be used to obtain variable rankings that are highly reproducible. Such rankings are needed for robust variable selection on univariate data. In most biological experiments several replicate measurement for a variable of interest, e.g. a gene, are available. An obvious way to combine and prioritize these values is to take their average or median. Other procedures like a t-t...
متن کاملAppropriate Causal Models and Stability of Causation
Causal models defined in terms of structural equations have proved to be quite a powerful way of representing knowledge regarding causality. However, a number of authors have given examples that seem to show that the Halpern-Pearl (HP) definition of causality (Halpern & Pearl 2005) gives intuitively unreasonable answers. Here it is shown that, for each of these examples, we can give two stories...
