Goodness of Causal Fit

Methodology 2022-11-07 v2 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

We propose a Goodness of Causal Fit (GCF) measure which depends on Judea Pearl's ``do" interventions. This is different from Goodness of Fit (GF) measures, which do not use interventions. Given a set G{\cal G} of DAGs with the same nodes, to find a good GGG\in {\cal G}, we propose plotting GCF(G)GCF(G) versus GF(G)GF(G) for all GGG\in {\cal G}, and finding a graph GGG\in {\cal G} with a large amount of both types of goodness.

Comments

This second version has major changes. Most notably, it introduces what we call the hospitality of a node and defines GCF in terms of hospitalities
