Abstract:Causal structure learning (CSL) refers to the estimation of causal graphs from data. Causal versions of tools such as ROC curves play a prominent role in empirical assessment of CSL methods and performance is often compared with “random” baselines (such as the diagonal in an ROC analysis). However, such baselines do not take account of constraints arising from the graph context and hence may represent a “low bar”. In this paper, motivated by examples in systems biology, we focus on assessment of CSL methods fo… Show more
