Identifying Independencies in Causal Graphs with Feedback

AI Analysis

This addresses a foundational issue in causal inference for researchers dealing with feedback loops, though it is incremental as it extends an existing criterion.

The paper tackled the problem of testing conditional independence in causal graphs with feedback, showing that the d-separation criterion is valid for discrete variables in feedback systems.

We show that the d -separation criterion constitutes a valid test for conditional independence relationships that are induced by feedback systems involving discrete variables.
