Identifying Causal Effects with the R Package causaleffect
Do-calculus is concerned with estimating the interventional distribution of an action from the observed joint probability distribution of the variables in a given causal structure. All identifiable causal effects can be derived using the rules of do-calculus, but the rules themselves do not give any direct indication whether the effect in question is identifiable or not. Shpitser and Pearl (200...
متن کاملCausal Inference using Graphical Models with the R Package pcalg
The pcalg package for R (R Development Core Team (2010)) can be used for the following two purposes: Causal structure learning and estimation of causal effects from observational data. In this document, we give a brief overview of the methodology, and demonstrate the package’s functionality in both toy examples and applications.
متن کاملmediation: R Package for Causal Mediation Analysis
In this paper, we describe the R package mediation for conducting causal mediation analysis in applied empirical research. In many scientific disciplines, the goal of researchers is not only estimating causal effects of a treatment but also understanding the process in which the treatment causally affects the outcome. Causal mediation analysis is frequently used to assess potential causal mecha...
متن کاملMore Causal Inference with Graphical Models in R Package pcalg
The pcalg package for R (R Development Core Team 2014) can be used for the following two purposes: Causal structure learning and estimation of causal effects from observational and/or interventional data. In this document, we give a brief overview of the methodology, and demonstrate the package’s functionality in both toy examples and applications. This vignette is an updated and extended (FCI,...
متن کاملIdentifying Conditional Causal Effects
This paper concerns the assessment of the effects of actions from a combination of nonexperimental data and causal assumptions encoded in the form of a directed acyclic graph in which some variables are presumed to be unobserved. We provide a procedure that systematically identifies cause effects between two sets of variables conditioned on some other variables, in time polynomial in the number...
