![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Covariate selection for identifying the causal effects of stochastic interventions using causal networks Covariate selection for identifying the causal effects of stochastic interventions using causal networks](/preview/png/1147587.png)
Suppose that cause–effect relationships between variables can be described by a causal network corresponding to a linear structural equation model. Kuroki and Miyakawa (2003) proposed a graphical criterion for selecting covariates to identify the causal effect of a conditional intervention. In this paper, we extend Kuroki and Miyakawa (2003) graphical criterion for selecting covariates to identify the causal effect of a stochastic intervention. Since stochastic intervention is a generalization of conditional intervention, our paper makes the results of Kuroki and Miyakawa (2003) more generally applicable.
► Cause–effect relationships between variables can be described by a causal network.
► We identify the causal effect of a stochastic intervention.
► And we give a graphical criterion for selecting covariates.
► Our results are more generally applicable than that of Kuroki and Miyakawa (2003).
