End-to-End Balancing for Causal Continuous Treatment-Effect Estimation

Mohammad Taha Bahadori, Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen, David E. Heckerman

We study the problem of observational causal inference with continuous treatments in the framework of inverse propensity-score weighting. To obtain stable weights, we design a new…

Likelihoods and Parameter Priors for Bayesian Networks

David Heckerman, Dan Geiger

We develop simple methods for constructing likelihoods and parameter priors for learning about the parameters and structure of a Bayesian network. In particular, we introduce sever…

Parameter Priors for Directed Acyclic Graphical Models and the Characterization of Several Probability Distributions

Dan Geiger, David Heckerman

We develop simple methods for constructing parameter priors for model choice among Directed Acyclic Graphical (DAG) models. In particular, we introduce several assumptions that per…

Debiasing Concept-based Explanations with Causal Analysis

Mohammad Taha Bahadori, David E. Heckerman

Concept-based explanation approach is a popular model interpertability tool because it expresses the reasons for a model's predictions in terms of concepts that are meaningful for…

A Tutorial on Learning With Bayesian Networks

David Heckerman

A Bayesian network is a graphical model that encodes probabilistic relationships among variables of interest. When used in conjunction with statistical techniques, the graphical mo…

Embedded Bayesian Network Classifiers

David Heckerman, Chris Meek

Low-dimensional probability models for local distribution functions in a Bayesian network include decision trees, decision graphs, and causal independence models. We describe a new…
