摘要翻译:
本文讨论了在因果贝叶斯网络结构(即表示因果关系的有向无环图)中从非实验数据中识别偶然效应的图形判据。我们首先回顾了Pearl在这个主题上的工作[Pearl,1995],其中提出了几个有用的图形标准。然后我们给出了一个完整的算法[Huang and Valtorta,2006b]。通过利用该算法的完备性,我们证明了Pearl提出的三个基本do-calculus规则是完备的,即如果一个因果效应是可识别的,则存在一系列do-calculus规则的应用,将因果效应公式转化为只包含观测量的公式。

英文摘要:
This paper is concerned with graphical criteria that can be used to solve the problem of identifying casual effects from nonexperimental data in a causal Bayesian network structure, i.e., a directed acyclic graph that represents causal relationships. We first review Pearl's work on this topic [Pearl, 1995], in which several useful graphical criteria are presented. Then we present a complete algorithm [Huang and Valtorta, 2006b] for the identifiability problem. By exploiting the completeness of this algorithm, we prove that the three basic do-calculus rules that Pearl presents are complete, in the sense that, if a causal effect is identifiable, there exists a sequence of applications of the rules of the do-calculus that transforms the causal effect formula into a formula that only includes observational quantities.
