From Ordinary Differential Equations to Structural Causal Models: the deterministic case (1304.7920v1)
Published 30 Apr 2013 in stat.OT and 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.
