Causal Queries
Macartan Humphreys, Alan M. Jacobs · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2023
This chapter defines causal questions in the language of causal models. We describe major families of causal queries, including case-level queries about causes of effects, case-level attribution, population-level effects, and effects along causal pathways. We show how these can all be defined as queries about the values of nodes in a causal model.
