Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Evaluating the third condition of Thm. 1; Algorithm 2 Updating a PMG with a valid local transformation of X represented by C; Algorithm 3 MAGLIST; Algorithm 4 BRUTEFORCE
Open Source Code No The paper mentions existing causality software packages (pcalg, causaldag) but does not provide a statement or link for the open-sourcing of the code for its own described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper states 'We generate simulated PAGs' and 'we generate 100 Erdös-Rényi graph as the true DAGs' but does not use a publicly available or open dataset with access information.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes simulation parameters ('number of vertices d {6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}', 'probability of an edge... ρ {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5}') but does not specify training/validation/test dataset splits, as it does not involve training a machine learning model on data splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions the use of 'causality software package such as pcalg [...] and causaldag [...]' but does not specify the version numbers of these or any other software dependencies used in their experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes We set the maximal running time for MAG listing given each PAG by 1800 seconds. For each parameter combination, we generate 100 Erdös-Rényi graph as the true DAGs.
