Deskripsi
Inferring causality from observed data is crucial in many scientific fields, but this process is often hindered by incomplete data. The incomplete data can lead to mistakes in understanding how variables affect each other, especially when some influencing factors are not directly observed. To tackle this problem, we’ve developed a new algorithm called Regression Loss-increased with Causal Intensity (RLCI). This approach uses regression and entropy analysis to uncover hidden variables. Through tests on various real-world datasets, RLCI has been proven to be effective. It can help spot hidden factors that may affect the relationship between variables and determine the direction of causal relationships.
