当从实际研究中获得观测数据，并且基于对过程的实质性理解已知各种变量如何相互影响的有向循环图时，我们考虑这样一个问题，在此问题中，为了使响应变量接近目标值而进行治疗变量的控制计划，并减少变异。在线性非递归结构方程模型的框架下，通过路径系数制定了一个关于某一治疗变量的最优控制方案。在此基础上，我们阐明了实施控制计划时因果效应的性质。这些结果使我们能够从观测数据中评估控制计划对方差的影响。

英文摘要：
  When observational data is available from practical studies and a directed cyclic graph for how various variables affect each other is known based on substantive understanding of the process, we consider a problem in which a control plan of a treatment variable is conducted in order to bring a response variable close to a target value with variation reduction. We formulate an optimal control plan concerning a certain treatment variable through path coefficients in the framework of linear nonrecursive structural equation models. Based on the formulation, we clarify the properties of causal effects when conducting a control plan. The results enable us to evaluate the effect of a control plan on the variance from observational data.
