Abstrak

Information theory gives rise to a novel method for causal skeleton discovery by expressing associations between variables as tensors. This tensor-based approach reduces the dimensionality of the data needed to test for conditional independence, e.g., for systems comprising three variables, the causal skeleton can be determined using pair-wise determined tensors. To arrive at this result, an additional information measure, path information, is proposed.
