Observational Partial Order Defined for Causal Structures with Latent Variables
A new arXiv paper formalizes a comparison between causal structures that share the same observed variables. One structure is said to observationally dominate another when the distributions it can generate over the visible variables include all those the other can produce. The work studies the resulting partial order and its implications for因果 inference when hidden (latent) factors are present.
