The Joint Causal Effect in Linear Structural Equation Model and Its Application to Process Analysis
Abstract
Consider a case where cause-effect relationships among variables can be described by a causal diagram and the corresponding linear structural equation model. In order to bring a response variable close to a target, this paper proposes a statistical method for inferring a joint causal effect of a conditional plan on the variance of a response variable from nonexperimental data. Moreover, based on this method, this paper formulates a conditional plan, which can cancel the influence of covariates on a response variable. The results of this paper could enable us to select an effective plan in linear conditional plans.
