Discrete Bayesian Networks have been very successful as a framework both for inference and for expressing certain causal hypotheses. In this paper we present a class of graphical models called the chain event graph (CEG) models, that generalises the class of discrete BN models. It provides a flexible and expressive framework for representing and analysing the implications of causal hypotheses, expressed in terms of the effects of a manipulation of the generating underlying system. We prove that, as for a BN, identifiability analyses of causal effects can be performed through examining the topology of the CEG graph, leading to theorems analogous to the back-door theorem for the BN.

  1. Partially Observed Structural Causal Models

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    POSCMs extend structural causal models to latent contexts that co-determine both graph structure and mechanisms, supported by an identifiability theory and validation in a retina simulator.

  2. Partially Observed Structural Causal Models

    cs.LG 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    POSCMs extend SCMs to settings where the causal graph itself is generated by latent context and can be intervened on, with conditional kernel-identifiability theorems and illustrative retina simulations.
