Topological Ignorability for Structural Causal Effects Beyond Means 事件

Topological Ignorability for Structural Causal Effects Beyond Means arXiv:2606.01184v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many interventions alter the structure of an outcome distribution rather than its mean: they can split a population into disconnected regimes, create loops or holes, generate branches, or reorganize an outcome cloud while leaving the average response nearly unchanged.
