Inferring causal networks from observations and interventions
Information about the structure of a causal system can come in the form of observational data— random samples of the system’s autonomous behavior—or interventional data—samples conditioned on the particular values of one or more variables that have been experimentally manipulated. Here we study people’s ability to infer causal structure from both observation and intervention, and to choose info...
متن کاملInferring causal phenotype networks from segregating populations.
A major goal in the study of complex traits is to decipher the causal interrelationships among correlated phenotypes. Current methods mostly yield undirected networks that connect phenotypes without causal orientation. Some of these connections may be spurious due to partial correlation that is not causal. We show how to build causal direction into an undirected network of phenotypes by includi...
متن کاملThe order of things: Inferring causal structure from temporal patterns
The timing and order in which a set of events occur strongly influences whether people judge them to be causally related. But what do people think particular temporal patterns of events tell them about causal structure? And how do they integrate multiple pieces of temporal evidence? We present a behavioral experiment that explores human causal structure induction from multiple temporal patterns...
متن کاملCategorising blickets: A connectionist approach to causal inference
A connectionist model of causal attribution is presented, which emphasises domain-generality and the role of analogy to previous experience. The model categorises objects dependent upon their observed causal properties and is also capable of making the same types of indirect inferences that four-year-old children have been shown to be capable of. The model gives rise to approximate conformity t...
متن کاملInferring Network Structure from Observation I: Binary Neural Networks
Inferring network structure from observed data is a useful procedure to study the relation between structure and function networks. For networks with observable dynamics but hidden structure, inference gives the best guess of the underlying connectivity that explains the observed data. For networks with known structure and observable dynamics, inference helps to separate parts of the network th...
