Structural Equation Modeling is a multivariate technique. It is based on formulating a set of linear relations between variables, some of which may be latent, and estimating the whole system, typically by analyzing the covariance matrix of the observed variables.

causal inference exercise - "covariate-specific effect"

$\newcommand{\op}[1]{\operatorname{#1}} \newcommand{\doop}{\op{do}}$ Here's my answer. a. To get the $c$-specific effect of $X$ and $Y,$ which is $P(Y=y|\doop(X=x),C=c),$ we analyze as follows. The se …

causal effect in linear causal model

Partial Solution: According to Rule 2 on page 70 of Causal Inference in Statistics: A Primer, by Pearl, Glymour, and Jewell: The $z$-specific effect $P(Y=y|\operatorname{do}(X=x), Z=z)$ is identified …

causal effect in linear causal model

$\newcommand{\eps}{\varepsilon}\newcommand{\doop}{\operatorname{do}}$My other answer has some value, I think, but rather than edit it, I think it might be better to simply add another answer. Let's ta …

Confused by the notation in DAG depicting structural causal model and corresponding function...

Yes, you are correct about upper-case versus lower-case: the upper-case $U_X,$ for example, is the exogenous random variable. Any particular value of that random variable is $u_X.$ This is a fairly co …

Structural Causal Models with cycles

Well, the fundamental rule of causality is that causes must precede effects - that is a strict inequality in time. So it is not permissible to have $X_i(t)=f_i(X_j(t),\dots,U_i(t)),$ but then turn aro …

Computing counterfactual query given an SCM and how it differs from computing interventional...

In general, you compute a counterfactual by performing three steps: Abduction: Use evidence $E=e$ to determine the value of $U.$ Action: Modify the model, $M,$ by removing the structural equations fo …
