The Structurally Complex with Additive Parent Causality (SCARY) Dataset
Causal datasets play a critical role in advancing the field of causality. However, existing datasets often lack the complexity of real-world issues such as selection bias, unfaithful data, and confounding. To address this gap, we propose a new synthetic causal dataset, the Structurally Complex with Additive paRent causalitY (SCARY) dataset, which includes the following features. The dataset comprises 40 scenarios, each generated with three different seeds, allowing researchers to leverage relevant subsets of the dataset. Additionally, we use two different data generation mechanisms for generating the causal relationship between parents and child nodes, including linear and mixed causal mechanisms with multiple sub-types. Our dataset generator is inspired by the Causal Discovery Toolbox and generates only additive models. The dataset has a Varsortability of 0.5. Our SCARY dataset provides a valuable resource for researchers to explore causal discovery under more realistic scenarios. The dataset is available at https://github.com/JayJayc/SCARY.

Identifiability of an Integer Modular Acyclic Additive Noise Model and its Causal Structure Discovery
The notion of causality is used in many situations dealing with uncertainty. We consider the problem whether causality can be identified given data set generated by discrete random variables rather than continuous ones. …
Score-matching-based Structure Learning for Temporal Data on Networks
Causal discovery is a crucial initial step in establishing causality from empirical data and background knowledge. Numerous algorithms have been developed for this purpose. Among them, the score-matching method has demon…

Granger causality has become an indispensable tool for analyzing causal relationships between time series. In this paper, we provide a detailed overview of its mathematical foundations, trace its historical development, …
Time SeriesA Shift in Perspective on Causality in Domain Generalization
The promise that causal modelling can lead to robust AI generalization has been challenged in recent work on domain generalization (DG) benchmarks. We revisit the claims of the causality and DG literature, reconciling ap…
