Causal Discovery Evaluation Framework in the Absence of Ground-Truth Causal Graph

open access: yesIEEE Access
In causal learning, discovering the causal graph of the underlying generative mechanism from observed data is crucial. However, real-world data for causal discovery is scarce and expensive, leading researchers to rely on synthetic datasets, which may not

Predicting Causal Relationships from Biological Data: Applying Automated Causal Discovery on Mass Cytometry Data of Human Immune Cells

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Learning the causal relationships that define a molecular system allows us to predict how the system will respond to different interventions. Distinguishing causality from mere association typically requires randomized experiments. Methods for automated

Local Causal Discovery for Estimating Causal Effects

open access: yes, 2023
Even when the causal graph underlying our data is unknown, we can use observational data to narrow down the possible values that an average treatment effect (ATE) can take by (1) identifying the graph up to a Markov equivalence class; and (2) estimating that ATE for each graph in the class.

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

The role of assumptions in causal discovery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The paper looks at the conditional independence search approach to causal discovery, proposed by Spirtes et al. and Pearl and Verma, from the point of view of the mechanism-based view of causality in econometrics, explicated by Simon.

Causal Discovery for Fairness

open access: yes, 2022
It is crucial to consider the social and ethical consequences of AI and ML based decisions for the safe and acceptable use of these emerging technologies. Fairness, in particular, guarantees that the ML decisions do not result in discrimination against individuals or minorities.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

Constraint-based Causal Discovery for Non-Linear Structural Causal Models with Cycles and Latent Confounders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We address the problem of causal discovery from data, making use of the recently proposed causal modeling framework of modular structural causal models (mSCM) to handle cycles, latent confounders and non-linearities.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Bayesian causal discovery for policy decision making

open access: yesData & Policy
This paper demonstrates how learning the structure of a Bayesian network, often used to predict and represent causal pathways, can be used to inform policy decision-making.
