causaldag.classes.dag.DAG.is_invariant

DAG.is_invariant(A, intervened_nodes, cond_set={}, verbose=False) → bool

Check if the distribution of A given cond_set is invariant to an intervention on intervened_nodes.

if the “intervention node” I with intervened_nodes as its children is d-separated from A given C. Equivalently, the :math:`f^emptyset(A|C)

eq f^I(A|C)` if:

• there is an active path to an intervened node that ends in an arrowhead, and that intervened node

  or one of its descendants is conditioned on.

• there is an active path to an intervened node that ends in a tail, and that intervened node

  is not conditioned on.

A:

Set of nodes.

intervened_nodes:

Nodes on which an intervention has occurred.

cond_set:

Conditioning set for the tested distribution.

verbose:

If True, print moves of the algorithm.
