Consider the worry row. We do not test a specific DAG, but seek to identify the most plausible mechanisms, using the data to learn potential causal structures.20 Our core assumption is thus that the variables are causally linked (and can be represented by a DAG structure). In computer science, a deterministic acyclic finite state automaton (DAFSA), also called a directed acyclic word graph (DAWG; though that name also refers to a related data structure that functions as a suffix index) is a data structure that represents a set of strings, and allows for a query operation that tests whether a given string belongs to the set in time proportional to its length.

In other words, the time dependence is to some extent encoded in the data, and is not completely lost. So, this is a directed graph. endobj The variables are either joined by single arrows, indicating a causal effect, or by arrows in both directions, implying that the causal influence cannot be uniquely identified from the data. .

BUT, it takes up a huge amount of memory if your graph is large (many vertices) and "wastes" a lot of memory if your graph is sparse (not very many edges).

Even so, caution is still required, as causal inference is only fully defensible under the assumptions of faithfulness and causal sufficiency.31 Broadly speaking, faithfulness requires that the joint distribution of the variables satisfies all the conditional independence relationships encoded by the DAG, and only those relationships. Several recent studies have assessed mediation using logistic regression (in particular through an increasing reliance on the KarlsonHolmBreen [KHB] commands and their congeners in STATA1113).
