Geometry of the faithfulness assumption in causal inference
Many algorithms for inferring causality rely heavily on the faithfulness assumption. The main
justification for imposing this assumption is that the set of unfaithful distributions has …

Causal structure learning and inference: a selective review
In this paper we give a review of recent causal inference methods. First, we discuss methods
for causal structure learning from observational data when confounders are not present and …

Direct estimation of differences in causal graphs
We consider the problem of estimating the differences between two causal directed acyclic
graph (DAG) models with a shared topological order given iid samples from each model …

Globally optimal score-based learning of directed acyclic graphs in high-dimensions
We prove that $\Omega (s\log p) $ samples suffice to learn a sparse Gaussian directed
acyclic graph (DAG) from data, where $ s $ is the maximum Markov blanket size. This …
