SNAP: Sequential Non-Ancestor Pruning for Targeted Causal Effect Estimation With an Unknown Graph

M Schubert, T Claassen, S Magliacane - arxiv preprint arxiv:2502.07857, 2025 - arxiv.org
Causal discovery can be computationally demanding for large numbers of variables. If we
only wish to estimate the causal effects on a small subset of target variables, we might not …
