Learning to Bound Counterfactual Inference from Observational, Biased and Randomised Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
We address the problem of integrating data from multiple, possibly biased, observational and interventional studies, to eventually compute counterfactuals in structural causal models. We start from the case of a single observational dataset affected by a selection bias. We show that the likelihood of the available data has no local maxima. This enables
