Local Discovery by Partitioning: Polynomial-Time Causal Discovery Around Exposure-Outcome Pairs

UAI 2024poster

Causal discovery is crucial for causal inference in observational studies, as it can enable the identification of *valid adjustment sets* (VAS) for unbiased effect estimation. However, global causal discovery is notoriously hard in the nonparametric setting, with exponential time and sample complex…
