  5. 14. Selection of Sufficient Adjustment Sets for Causal Inference : A Comparison of Algorithms and Evaluation Metrics for Structure Learning

    Författare :Agnes Widenfalk; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Causal Inference; Structure Learning; PC-algorithm; Covariate Selection; Causal Graphs;

    Sammanfattning : Causal graphs are essential tools to find sufficient adjustment sets in observational studies. Subject matter experts can sometimes specify these graphs, but often the dependence structure of the variables, and thus the graph, is unknown even to them. In such cases, structure learning algorithms can be used to learn the graph. LÄS MER
