Causal discovery with scale-mixture model for spatiotemporal variance dependencies

In conventional causal discovery, structural equation models (SEM) are directly applied to the observed variables, meaning that the causal effect can be represented as a function of the direct causes themselves. However, in many real world problems, there are significant dependencies in the variances or energies, which indicates that causality may possibly take place at the level of variances o...

Nota Tecnica 2 an Equal Variance Test

This article introduces (and hopes to encourage thereby) the econometrics practitioner to (use) a homoscedasticity test referred to in the field of statistics as the modified Levene test. Econometrics orthodoxy (from University to practice level) has focused mainly on three heteroscedasticity tests, namely the Goldfeld-Quandt (GQ), Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey (BPG), and the White (W) test. The differ...

A practical approach for comparing means of two groups without equal variance assumption.

In this paper we consider two-groups of i.i.d. normally distributed random variables (N(mu(x),sigma(x) (2)) and N(mu(y),sigma(y) (2))) without assuming equal variance (sigma(x) (2) = sigma(y) (2)). We propose a simple method for constructing confidence bounds based on Howe's approximation I. Its applications in parallel clinical trial (testing H(0) : mu(x)-mu(y)=0 versus H(1) : mu(x)-mu(y)<0) a...

Causal Discovery with Prior Information

Bayesian networks (BNs) are rapidly becoming a leading tool in applied Artificial Intelligence (AI). BNs may be built by eliciting expert knowledge or learned via causal discovery programs. A hybrid approach is to incorporate prior information elicited from experts into the causal discovery process. We present several ways of using expert information as prior probabilities in the CaMML causal d...

Insensitivity of Constraint-Based Causal Discovery Algorithms to Violations of the Assumption of Multivariate Normality

Constraint-based causal discovery algorithms, such as the PC algorithm, rely on conditional independence tests and are otherwise independent of the actual distribution of the data. In case of continuous variables, the most popular conditional independence test used in practice is the partial correlation test, applicable to variables that are multivariate Normal. Many researchers assume multivar...
