Zusammenfassung
We propose a method for inferring the existence of a latent common cause ("confounder") of two observed random variables.
The method assumes that the two effects of
the confounder are (possibly nonlinear) functions
of the confounder plus independent, additive
noise. We discuss under which conditions
the model is identifiable (up to an arbitrary
reparameterization of the confounder)
from the joint distribution of the effects. We
state and prove a theoretical result that provides
evidence for the conjecture that the
model is generically identifiable under suitable
technical conditions. In addition, we
propose a practical method to estimate the
confounder from a finite i.i.d. sample of the
effects and illustrate that the method works
well on both simulated and real-world data.
