We present CausalSim, a causal framework for unbiased trace-driven simulation. Current
trace-driven simulators assume that the interventions being simulated (eg, a new algorithm) …

Synthetic combinations: A causal inference framework for combinatorial interventions

A Agarwal, A Agarwal… - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider a setting where there are $ N $ heterogeneous units and $ p $ interventions.
Our goal is to learn unit-specific potential outcomes for any combination of these $ p …

Using multiple outcomes to improve the synthetic control method

L Sun, E Ben-Michael, A Feller - arxiv preprint arxiv:2311.16260, 2023 - arxiv.org
When there are multiple outcome series of interest, Synthetic Control analyses typically
proceed by estimating separate weights for each outcome. In this paper, we instead propose …

Causal structure discovery between clusters of nodes induced by latent factors

C Squires, A Yun, E Nichani… - … on Causal Learning …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider the problem of learning the structure of a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG)
