Effects of Treatment on the Treated: Identification and Generalization
Ilya Shpitser, Judea Pearl
Many applications of causal analysis call for assessing, retrospectively, the effect of withholding an action that has in fact been implemented. This counterfactual quantity, somet…
Counterfactual Graphical Models for Longitudinal Mediation Analysis with Unobserved Confounding
Ilya Shpitser
Questions concerning mediated causal effects are of great interest in psychology, cognitive science, medicine, social science, public health, and many other disciplines. For instan…
On the Validity of Covariate Adjustment for Estimating Causal Effects
Ilya Shpitser, Tyler VanderWeele, James M. Robins
Identifying effects of actions (treatments) on outcome variables from observational data and causal assumptions is a fundamental problem in causal inference. This identification is…
An Efficient Algorithm for Computing Interventional Distributions in Latent Variable Causal Models
Ilya Shpitser, Thomas S. Richardson, James M. Robins
Probabilistic inference in graphical models is the task of computing marginal and conditional densities of interest from a factorized representation of a joint probability distribu…
