com.bayesserver.causal.DisjunctiveCauseInference

All Implemented Interfaces:

Inference

public final class DisjunctiveCauseInference
extends CausalInferenceBase

Estimates the causal effect, using the 'Disjunctive Cause Criterion' adjustment formula to avoid confounding bias. This criterion requires that all 'causes of treatments or outcomes or both' are adjusted for, and therefore the structure of the Bayesian network need not be causal. Multiple treatments and outcomes nodes are supported as well as fixed evidence.
