Information Theoretic Causal Effect Quantification

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
Modelling causal relationships has become popular across various disciplines. Most common frameworks for causality are the Pearlian causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and the Neyman-Rubin potential outcome framework.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

On the Page Number of Upward Planar Directed Acyclic Graphs

open access: yesJournal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2013
In this paper we study the page number of upward planar directed acyclic graphs. We prove that: (1) the page number of any n-vertex upward planar triangulation G whose every maximal 4-connected component has page number k is at most min{O(klogn),O(2k)}; (

The bayesvl package: An R package for implementing and visualizing Bayesian statistics

open access: yesSoftwareX, 2022
The bayesvl R package implements Bayesian analysis using the Stan’s no-U-turn sampler (NUTS). Two distinguished functions that the bayesvl package complements to other developed packages and software performing Bayesian analysis are the “relationship ...

The Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases for Shift Workers in the Prospective Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Shift work can disrupt circadian rhythms and is postulated to play a role in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In the German prospective population‐based Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study, we analyzed longitudinal associations between shift work and night‐shift work with CVD.

Adjustment for collider bias in the hospitalized Covid-19 setting

open access: yesGlobal Epidemiology, 2023
Background: Causal directed acyclic graphs (cDAGs) are frequently used to identify confounding and collider bias. We demonstrate how to use causal directed acyclic graphs to adjust for collider bias in the hospitalized Covid-19 setting.

Functional Impact of Structural Damage in Psoriatic Arthritis: Insights from a Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To examine the association between radiographic structural damage and physical function (PF) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods Data were analyzed from a large longitudinal PsA cohort. PF was measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ, 0–3) and Short Form‐36 PF subscale (SF‐36, 0–100); radiographic joint damage was measured ...

Importance of directed acyclic graphs in medical education

open access: yesDiscover Education
Medical students are taught the importance of variable relationships in scientific research. We propose augmenting this education with teaching about direct acyclic graphs (DAGs)—a graphical model used to analyze complex systems of variables.

Bayesian Network Learning with the PC Algorithm: An Improved and Correct Variation

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 2019
PC is a prototypical constraint-based algorithm for learning Bayesian networks, a special case of directed acyclic graphs. An existing variant of it, in the R package pcalg, was developed to make the skeleton phase order independent.
