From Ordinary Differential Equations to Structural Causal Models: the deterministic case (1408.2063v1)
Published 9 Aug 2014 in cs.AI
Abstract: We show how, and under which conditions, the equilibrium states of a first-order Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) system can be described with a deterministic Structural Causal Model (SCM). Our exposition sheds more light on the concept of causality as expressed within the framework of Structural Causal Models, especially for cyclic models.
