arXiv:2603.01119v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A fundamental challenge in causal inference with observational data is correct specification of a causal model. When there is model uncertainty, analysts may seek to use estimates from multiple candidate models that rely on distinct, and possibly partially overlapping, sets of identifying assumptions to infer the causal effect, a process known as triangulation. Principled methods for triangulation, however, remain underdeveloped. Here, we develop a framework for causal effect triangulation that combines model testability methods from ca
The increasing complexity of AI models and the critical need for robust causal inference in various applications, from healthcare to policy, makes principled triangulation methods essential.
Improved methods for causal inference and model uncertainty management will refine AI's ability to inform high-stakes decisions, reducing reliance on flawed or biased data interpretations.
The development of a robust framework for weighted triangulation of causal effects reduces model uncertainty, leading to more reliable and actionable insights from observational data for AI applications.
