Non-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 کاملMulti-Dimensional Causal Discovery
We propose a method for learning causal relations within high-dimensional tensor data as they are typically recorded in non-experimental databases. The method allows the simultaneous inclusion of numerous dimensions within the data analysis such as samples, time and domain variables construed as tensors. In such tensor data we exploit and integrate non-Gaussian models and tensor analytic algori...
متن کاملSAT-Based Causal Discovery under Weaker Assumptions
Using the flexibility of recently developed methods for causal discovery based on Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers, we encode a variety of assumptions that weaken the Faithfulness assumption. The encoding results in a number of SAT-based algorithms whose asymptotic correctness relies on weaker conditions than are standardly assumed. This implementation of a whole set of assumptions in the s...
متن کاملComparison of Ensemble Kalman Filters Under Non-Gaussianity
Recently various versions of ensemble Kalman filters (EnKF) has been proposed and studied. This work concerns, in a mathematically rigorous manner, the relative performance of two major versions of EnKF when the forecast ensemble is non-Gaussian. The approach is based on the stability of the filtering methods against small model violations, using the expected squared L2 distance as a measure of...
متن کاملNon-Gaussianity from preheating.
We consider a two-field model for inflation where the second order metric perturbations can be amplified by a parametric resonance during preheating. We demonstrate that there can arise a considerable enhancement of non-Gaussianity sourced by the local terms generated through the coupled perturbations. We argue that the non-Gaussianity parameter could be as large as f(NL) approximately 50. Our ...
