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.
