Learning Subject-Specific Directed Acyclic Graphs With Mixed Effects Structural Equation Models From Observational Data

The identification of causal relationships between random variables from large-scale observational data using directed acyclic graphs (DAG) is highly challenging. We propose a new mixed-effects structural equation model (mSEM) framework to estimate subject-specific DAGs, where we represent joint dis...
