SUTVA (stable unit treatment value): treatment Simple difference means (naïve approach): All methods: identifiability assumptionsto any individual is not affecting the outcome of prima facie 𝑃𝐹𝐸 = 𝐸(𝑌!$ |𝑋! = 1) − 𝐸(𝑌!# |𝑋! = 0) Method-specific assumptions:

Common causal: single treatment, not another overlap sufficiently à propensity score matching 1) Conditional (in)dependence: find Markov

Strong ignorability = positivity + exchangeability balance the distributions (log (𝜋! )) of covariates eliminates unnecessary edges in some pattern

Identifiability: exchangeability, conditional 2) Restricting causal models: assume type
positivity, consistency (/SUTVA) 3) Include insignificant predictors in propensity relation (non-linear) or noise (non-gaussian)

Randomised experiment (RCT): (no FCM (functional causal models): continuous

exchangeability 3) covariates 𝑋! are measured and 𝑌! and any 𝑝 > 0.10 ∨ .015 and unmeasurable factor/noise: 𝑌 = 𝑓(𝑋, 𝜀, 𝜃1)

Quasi experiment: random assigned and self- balance (dimensionality), leads to non-overlap (𝑋, 𝜀) to (𝑋, 𝑌) is invertible, recover 𝑁 uniquely
chosen treatment à compare research design Matching (of propensity scores): works best from observed variables 𝑋, 𝑌 (causal asymmetry)
Modularity, localised intervention: variable when one of the two groups (typically the control)

Invariant Causal Prediction: search for
If smaller group is treated persons, then an invariant models by normal and do-intervention
estimate represents 𝐴𝐶𝐸$ , vice versa 𝐴𝐶𝐸# to identify direct causes (means, conditional
If no matches found for some treated persons, dependencies which are invariant do not change)

Global Markov condition: d-seperated if two
