A Supervised Learning Approach to Causal Inference for Bivariate Time Series
Yoichi Chikahara, Akinori Fujino (NTT) IBISML2016-2
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Causal inference in time series is a problem to estimate the underlying causal relationship between time-dependent variables. In this report, we tackle two tasks relating to causal inference in bivariate time series; one is to estimate the causal direction ($X rightarrow Y$ or $X leftarrow Y$) and the other is to detect latent confounding ($X leftarrow C rightarrow Y$). By extending the Random Causation Coefficient (RCC) to time series, we propose a supervised learning framework for bivariate time series, which infers the causal relationship based on a set of time series with a known causal relationship. While the existing model-based approaches require the prior specification of the models representing the causal relationships, the supervised learning framework can give the definition of the causal relationships directly from data. We show experimentally that our proposed method achieves better causal inference accuracy than other existing methods and even can detect latent confounding.
