work_u5fvrvqcozbtllt6hszpqxmqka	Frederick Eberhardt	Experimental Indistinguishability of Causal Structures	2013	14	.pdf	application/pdf	6079	554	64	Moreover, I present a concrete example in which causal underdetermination persists despite exhaustive experimentation and argue that such cases undermine the appeal of an interventionist account of causation as its dependence on other assumptions is not spelled out. experiment intervening only on y would distinguish the three causal structures: it would make x independent of y if the first structure is true, but not can uniquely identify the true causal structure among a set of variables given Similar results can be obtained without experiments but by instead strengthening the assumptions one makes about the underlying causal structure. acyclicity are assumed, the two causal structures in figure 2 cannot be distinguished by any set of experiments that intervene on only one variable in Alternatively, without additional assumptions, causal discovery requires a large set of very demanding experiments, each intervening on a large number of variables simultaneously. experiments are in the worst case necessary to discover the causal structure among n variables.	./cache/work_u5fvrvqcozbtllt6hszpqxmqka.pdf	./txt/work_u5fvrvqcozbtllt6hszpqxmqka.txt
