Causal Inference

Real-World Evidence, Causal Inference, and Machine Learning

May, 2023

Abstract

The current focus on real world evidence (RWE) is occurring at a time when at least two major trends are converging. First, is
the progress made in observational research design and methods over the past decade. Second, the development of
numerous large observational healthcare databases around the world is creating repositories of improved data assets to
support observational research.

Reinterpreting causal discovery as the task of predicting unobserved joint statistics

May, 2023

Abstract

If X,Y,Z denote sets of random variables, two different data sources may contain samples from PX,Y and PY,Z, respectively. We argue that causal discovery can help inferring properties of the `unobserved joint distributions' PX,Y,Z or PX,Z. The properties may be conditional independences (as in `integrative causal inference') or also quantitative statements about dependences.
