Latent hierarchical causal structure discovery with rank constraints

B Huang, CJH Low, F Xie… - Advances in neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Most causal discovery procedures assume that there are no latent confounders in the
system, which is often violated in real-world problems. In this paper, we consider a …

Testing Conditional Independence Between Latent Variables by Independence Residuals

Z Chen, J Qiao, F Xie, R Cai, Z Hao… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
