| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes algorithms verbally and mathematically but does not include a structured pseudocode or algorithm block. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not contain any explicit statement about open-sourcing the code or a link to a code repository. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | On one hand we have observational data, from one medical study D1 [6], describing the causal relationship between statin level and prostate specific antigen (PSA), and on the other hand we have observational data, from a second study D2 [7], that looked into the link between PSA level and prostate cancer volume. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions "N = 100 datapoints for D1 and M = 50 datapoints D2." and "In Fig.5 we plot the mean and the 95% credible interval of the resulting GP models for E[T|do(X) = x]." However, it does not explicitly provide training/validation/test splits. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used for running the experiments (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory specifications). |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8', 'PyTorch 1.9'). |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper mentions general experimental settings like using the 'expected improvement (EI) acquisition function' and that 'The data generation and details were added in the Appendix', but it does not provide specific hyperparameter values (e.g., learning rate, batch size, number of epochs) or detailed training configurations in the main text. |
