Identifying Nonstationary Causal Structures with High-Order Markov Switching Models
Causal discovery in time series is a rapidly evolving field with a wide variety of applications in other areas such as climate science and neuroscience. Traditional approaches assume a stationary causal graph, which can be adapted to nonstationary time series with time-dependent effects or heterogeneous noise. In this work we address nonstationarity via regime-dependent causal structures. We first establish identifiability for high-order Markov Switching Models, which provide the foundations for identifiable regime-dependent causal discovery. Our empirical studies demonstrate the scalability of our proposed approach for high-order regime-dependent structure estimation, and we illustrate its applicability on brain activity data.

Identifying Unique Causal Network from Nonstationary Time Series
Identifying causality is a challenging task in many data-intensive scenarios. Many algorithms have been proposed for this critical task. However, most of them consider the learning algorithms for directed acyclic graph (…
