Cyclic Counterfactuals under Shift-scale Intervention
Saptarshi Saha, Dhruv Rathore, Utpal Garain
Most counterfactual inference frameworks traditionally assume acyclic structural causal models (SCMs), i.e. directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). However, many real-world systems (e.g. biological systems) contain feedback loops or cyclic dependencies that violate acyclicity. In this work, we study counterfactual inference under shift-scale interventions in cyclic SCMs.
