Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We present algorithms for finding and enumerating possible sets satisfying the FD criterion in a given causal diagram. 3. If you ran experiments... (a) Did you include the code, data, and instructions needed to reproduce the main experimental results (either in the supplemental material or as a URL)? [N/A]

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 FINDFDSET (G, X, Y, I, R) Algorithm 2 LISTFDSETS (G, X, Y, I, R) Figure 2: A function that outputs the set of candidate variables satisfying the second condition of the FD criterion. Figure 3: A function that outputs the set of candidate variables potentially satisfying the second and third conditions of the FD criterion. Figure 4: A function that facilitates the construction of a set that satisfies the third condition of the FD criterion.
Open Source Code Yes 1Code is available at https://github.com/Causal AILab/Frontdoor Adjustment Sets.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and theoretical properties (correctness, complexity). It does not involve empirical studies with data, training, or validation, as indicated by '[N/A]' for experimental questions in the ethics review.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and theoretical properties. It does not involve empirical studies with data, training, or validation, and therefore no dataset splits are provided.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and proofs. It does not report on empirical experiments, and thus no hardware specifications for running experiments are provided. The ethics review states '[N/A]' for questions about compute resources.
Software Dependencies No The paper focuses on theoretical algorithm design and does not specify software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., specific libraries, frameworks, or their versions) required for replication or implementation of the algorithms.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical, describing algorithms and their properties, and does not conduct empirical experiments. Therefore, it does not provide details regarding experimental setup, such as hyperparameters or training configurations.
