Non-parametric recovery of causal diffusion mechanisms from steady-state observations
Richard Schwank, Mathias Drton
We consider sparse multivariate stochastic systems that evolve in continuous time according to a causal mechanism and present methodology to recover the system's time-infinitesimal transition mechanism from mere cross-sectional data. This observational paradigm is motivated by ap…
