Strength of causal links? #102

Closed aaorsi closed 1 year ago

aaorsi commented 1 year ago

Hi! Excellent library! have you considered including a measure of causal strength, like parameter learning for bayesian networks but applied to these DAGs? What would you suggest to estimate that?

Hello,

There are some algorithms that can already return a weighted structure as a result of how the DAG is computed. You can take a look at LiNGAM family of algorithms. gCastle provides ICA-based LiNGAM and DirectLiNGAM, but there are more extensions, you can take a look here for an overview: https://sites.google.com/view/sshimizu06/lingam
