  • The Hardness of Validating Observational Studies with Experimental Data

    The Hardness of Validating Observational Studies with Experimental Data arXiv:2503.14795v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Observational data is often readily available in large quantities, but can lead to biased causal effect estimates due to the presence of unobserved confounding. Recent works attempt to remove this bias by supplementing observational data with experimental data, which, when available,…

  • The Observational Partial Order of Causal Structures with Latent Variables

    The Observational Partial Order of Causal Structures with Latent Variables arXiv:2502.07891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For two causal structures with the same set of visible variables, one is said to observationally dominate the other if the set of distributions over the visible variables realizable by the first contains the set of distributions over the visible…
