Identification, Estimation, and Inference for Sequential Causally Ordered Mediation Pathways
Ritoban Kundu, Canyi Chen, Peter X. K. Song
Mediation analysis plays an essential role in uncovering the mechanisms by which an exposure influences an outcome through intermediate pathways. While methodological advances for…
Network Structural Equation Models for Causal Mediation and Spillover Effects
Ritoban Kundu, Peter X. K. Song
Social network interference induces complex dependencies where a unit's outcome is influenced not only by its own exposure and mediator but also by those of connected neighbors. In…
Quantification and cross-fitting inference of asymmetric relations under generative exposure mapping models
Soumik Purkayastha, Peter X. -K. Song
Learning directionality between variables is crucial yet challenging, especially for mechanistic relationships without a priori ordering assumptions. We propose a coefficient of as…
A Framework for Covariate-Adjusted Bivariate Causal Discovery
Soumik Purkayastha, Peter X. -K. Song
Ascertaining causal direction from observational data is a fundamental challenge in scientific inquiry. Of particular interest is the problem of covariate-adjusted bivariate causal…
