Learning Heterogeneity in Causal Inference Using Sufficient Dimension Reduction
Journal of Causal Inference, 2019 Often the research interest in causal inference is on the regression causal effect, which is the mean difference in the potential outcomes conditional on the covariates. In this paper, we use sufficient dimension reduction to estimate a lower dimensional

The causal meaning of Fisher's average effect [PDF]
, 2013 In order to formulate the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection, Fisher defined the average excess and average effect of a gene substitution. Finding these notions to be somewhat opaque, some authors have recommended reformulating Fisher's ideas in ...

Causal Fermion Systems: A Quantum Space-Time Emerging from an Action Principle [PDF]
, 2011 Causal fermion systems are introduced as a general mathematical framework for formulating relativistic quantum theory. By specializing, we recover earlier notions like fermion systems in discrete space-time, the fermionic projector and causal variational

Local Causal Discovery for Estimating Causal Effects
, 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.

A causal look into the quantum Talbot effect [PDF]
, 2007 A well-known phenomenon in both optics and quantum mechanics is the so-called Talbot effect. This near field interference effect arises when infinitely periodic diffracting structures or gratings are illuminated by highly coherent light or particle beams.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 BackgroundBreast and thyroid cancer are increasingly prevalent, but it remains unclear whether the observed associations are due to heightened medical surveillance or intrinsic etiological factors.

Effects of question formats on causal judgments and model evaluation [PDF]
, 2015 Evaluation of causal reasoning models depends on how well the subjects' causal beliefs are assessed. Elicitation of causal beliefs is determined by the experimental questions put to subjects.

Causality Is an Effect, II [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 Causality follows the thermodynamic arrow of time, where the latter is defined by the direction of entropy increase. After a brief review of an earlier version of this article, rooted in classical mechanics, we give a quantum generalization of the results. The quantum proofs are limited to a gas of Gaussian wave packets.

Clustering of causal graphs to explore drivers of river discharge
Environmental Data Science, 2023 This work aims to classify catchments through the lens of causal inference and cluster analysis. In particular, it uses causal effects (CEs) of meteorological variables on river discharge while only relying on easily obtainable observational data.
