Nonlinear dynamic causal models for fMRI
Models of effective connectivity characterize the influence that neuronal populations exert over each other. Additionally, some approaches, for example Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) and variants of Structural Equation Modelling, describe how effective connectivity is modulated by experimental manipulations. Mathematically, both are based on bilinear equations, where the bilinear term models th...
متن کاملCausal inference using invariant prediction: identification and confidence intervals
What is the difference of a prediction that is made with a causal model and a non-causal model? Suppose we intervene on the predictor variables or change the whole environment. The predictions from a causal model will in general work as well under interventions as for observational data. In contrast, predictions from a non-causal model can potentially be very wrong if we actively intervene on v...
متن کاملNonlinear causal discovery with additive noise models
The discovery of causal relationships between a set of observed variables is a fundamental problem in science. For continuous-valued data linear acyclic causal models with additive noise are often used because these models are well understood and there are well-known methods to fit them to data. In reality, of course, many causal relationships are more or less nonlinear, raising some doubts as ...
متن کاملSearch for Additive Nonlinear Time Series Causal Models
Pointwise consistent, feasible procedures for estimating contemporaneous linear causal structure from time series data have been developed using multiple conditional independence tests, but no such procedures are available for non-linear systems. We describe a feasible procedure for learning a class of non-linear time series structures, which we call additive non-linear time series. We show tha...
متن کاملNonlinear Functional Causal Models for Distinguishing Cause from Effect
Finding causal directions is a fundamental problem in scientific data analysis and other fields. In general, finding causal directions is extremely complex, but we can make progress by assuming that the causal relationships can only take some special forms. For simplicity, let us assume that we have only two observed random variables, x and y, where either x is causing y or y is causing x. In p...
