Generalizing Identifiability Results in Causal Discovery from Complete Data to Missing Data Settings
arXiv stat.ML0 views
arXiv:2610.19211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While causal discovery methods have matured for complete data, such algorithms for handling missing values remain limited. We establish general sufficient conditions under which causal graphs remain identifiable (i.e., uniquely determined from the available data distribution) under various missingness categories, including Missing Not At Random, and provide a framework to extend correctness guarantees from causal discovery algorithms for complete data to missing data settings. Our results show that identifiability of causal graphs with no unobserved confounders is preserved when (1) missingness mechanisms do not causally interact, (2) no variable directly causes its own missingness, and (3) either faithfulness holds for missingness mechanisms, or they follow generalized linear models. Guided by these theoretical results, we introduce two asymptotically correct algorithms for Additive Noise Models (ANMs) that recover the underlying causal graph and provide consistent parameter estimates.
