Bayesian Networks are probabilistic graphical models that represent conditional
independence relationships among variables as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), where …

Geometry of the faithfulness assumption in causal inference

C Uhler, G Raskutti, P Bühlmann, B Yu - The Annals of Statistics, 2013 - JSTOR
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

M Kalisch, P Bühlmann - Quality Technology & Quantitative …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
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 …

Nonparametric bounds and sensitivity analysis of treatment effects

A Richardson, MG Hudgens… - Statistical science: a …, 2015 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
This paper considers conducting inference about the effect of a treatment (or exposure) on
an outcome of interest. In the ideal setting where treatment is assigned randomly, under …

Direct estimation of differences in causal graphs

Y Wang, C Squires, A Belyaeva… - Advances in neural …, 2018 - proceedings.neurips.cc
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

B Aragam, A Amini, Q Zhou - Advances in Neural …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
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 …

A uniformly consistent estimator of causal effects under the k-triangle-faithfulness assumption

P Spirtes, J Zhang - Statistical Science, 2014 - JSTOR
Spirtes, Glymour and Scheines [Causation, Prediction, and Search (1993) Springer]
described a pointwise consistent estimator of the Markov equivalence class of any causal …

Learning directed acyclic graphs with penalized neighbourhood regression

B Aragam, AA Amini, Q Zhou - arxiv preprint arxiv:1511.08963, 2015 - arxiv.org
We study a family of regularized score-based estimators for learning the structure of a
directed acyclic graph (DAG) for a multivariate normal distribution from high-dimensional …

Algebraic Geometry of Quantum Graphical Models

E Duarte, D Pavlov, M Wiesmann - arxiv preprint arxiv:2308.11538, 2023 - arxiv.org
Algebro-geometric methods have proven to be very successful in the study of graphical
models in statistics. In this paper we introduce the foundations to carry out a similar study of …

A review of Gaussian Markov models for conditional independence

I Córdoba, C Bielza, P Larrañaga - Journal of Statistical Planning and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Markov models lie at the interface between statistical independence in a probability
distribution and graph separation properties. We review model selection and estimation in …
