Selection of Identifiability Criteria for Total Effects by using Path Diagrams
Manabu Kuroki, Zhihong Cai
Pearl has provided the back door criterion, the front door criterion and the conditional instrumental variable (IV) method as identifiability criteria for total effects. In some si…
The Graphical Identification for Total Effects by using Surrogate Variables
Manabu Kuroki, Zhihong Cai, Hiroki Motogaito
Consider the case where cause-effect relationships between variables can be described as a directed acyclic graph and the corresponding linear structural equation model. This paper…
Counterfactual Reasoning in Linear Structural Equation Models
Zhihong Cai, Manabu Kuroki
Consider the case where causal relations among variables can be described as a Gaussian linear structural equation model. This paper deals with the problem of clarifying how the va…
Stratified Analysis of `Probabilities of Causation'
Manabu Kuroki, Zhihong Cai
This paper proposes new formulas for the probabilities of causation difined by Pearl (2000). Tian and Pearl (2000a, 2000b) showed how to bound the quantities of the probabilities o…
