What Is Going on Inside the Arrows? Discovering the Hidden Springs in Causal Models.
Using Gebharter's representation, we consider aspects of the problem of discovering the structure of unmeasured submechanisms when the variables in those submechanisms have not been measured. Exploiting an early insight of Sober's, we provide a correct algorithm for identifying latent, endogenous st...

Exploiting an early insight of Sober's, we provide a correct algorithm for identifying latent, endogenous structure-submechanisms-for a restricted class of structures. The algorithm can be merged with other methods for discovering causal relations among unmeasured variables, and feedback relations between measured variables and unobserved causes can sometimes be learned pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Philosophy of Science is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
