Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We develop scalable algorithms and perform experiments on simulated and real data. We evaluate our method in several simulation studies as well as a real-world data set on gene perturbations.
Researcher Affiliation Academia 1Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 An algorithm for computing SIAS from data
Open Source Code Yes Code is provided at https://github.com/PhillipMogensen/InvariantAncestrySearch.
Open Datasets Yes We evaluate our approach in a data set on gene expression in yeast (Kemmeren et al., 2014).
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating synthetic datasets and uses a real-world dataset, but it does not provide specific details on train/validation/test splits (percentages, counts, or methodology) for reproducing its experiments.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No We provide a function for listing all minimally invariant sets in our python code; it uses an implementation of the above mentioned algorithm, provided in the R (R Core Team, 2021) package dagitty (Textor et al., 2016). Unknown-Target Interventional Greedy Sparsest Permutation (UT-IGSP) (Squires et al., 2020) using the implemention from the Python package Causal DAG. (These mention software packages but do not provide specific version numbers for them.)
Experiment Setup Yes Throughout the section, we consider a significance level of α = 5%. For a detailed description of the simulations, see Appendix E.2. When d = 6, we test hypotheses with a correction factor C = 3 6/3 = 9...When d = 100, we test hypotheses with the correction factor C(1) of Theorem 5.5. In both cases, we test the hypothesis of invariance of the empty set at level α0 = 10 6
