Inferring 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 کاملInferring 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 History from Shape
The shape of on object often seems to tell us something about the object’s history; that is, the processes of growth, pushing, stretching, resistance, indentation, ond so on, that formed the object. A theory is offered here of how people are able to infer the causal history of natural objects such as clouds, tumors, embryos, leoves, geological formations, and the like. Two inference problems ar...
متن کاملCausal Phenotype Discovery via Deep Networks
The rapid growth of digital health databases has attracted many researchers interested in using modern computational methods to discover and model patterns of health and illness in a research program known as computational phenotyping. Much of the work in this area has focused on traditional statistical learning paradigms, such as classification, prediction, clustering, pattern mining. In this ...
متن کاملInferring Causal Direction from Relational Data
Inferring the direction of causal dependence from observational data is a fundamental problem in many scientific fields. Significant progress has been made in inferring causal direction from data that are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.), but little is understood about this problem in the more general relational setting with multiple types of interacting entities. This work exam...
