Abstract

Existing causal discovery algorithms are mainly based on the observed variables, and cannot be applied to the causal discovery among multiple sets of observed variables. Hence, this paper proposed a multiset canonical correlation variables based causal discovery algorithm. First, it introduced multiset canonical correlation variables to establish a linear non-Gaussian acyclic model for them, and proposed a corresponding objective function. Then, it used the gradient as cent method to solve the objective function, and constructed a causal network over multiset canonical correlation variables. Simulation experiments verify the correctness and effectiveness of the algorithm, and find a number of valuable sets of wireless network performance indicators on the mobile base station dataset.
