Notebook’s tools for causality

Visualization helpers for causal models in Jupyter notebooks. These functions render pyagrum.CausalModel instances and causal inference results as graphical outputs.

pyagrum.lib.notebook.getCausalModel(cm, size=None)

return a HTML representing the causal model

Parameters:

  • cm (CausalModel) – the causal model

  • size (float | str | None) – the size of the rendered graph

Returns:

the dot representation

Return type:

str

pyagrum.lib.notebook.showCausalModel(cm, size=None)

Shows a pydot svg representation of the causal DAG

Parameters:

  • cm (CausalModel) – the causal model

  • size (float | str | None) – the size of the rendered graph

Return type:

None

pyagrum.lib.notebook.getCausalImpact(model, on, doing, knowing=None, values=None)

return a HTML representing of the three values defining a causal impact : formula, value, explanation

Parameters:

  • model (CausalModel) – the causal model

  • on (str | set[str]) – the impacted variable(s)

  • doing (str | set[str]) – the interventions

  • knowing (set[str] | None) – the observations

  • values (dict[str, int] | None) – value for certain variables

Return type:

HTML

pyagrum.lib.notebook.showCausalImpact(model, on, doing, knowing=None, values=None)

display a HTML representing of the three values defining a causal impact : formula, value, explanation

Parameters:

  • model (CausalModel) – the causal model

  • on (str | set[str]) – the impacted variable(s)

  • doing (str | set[str]) – the interventions

  • knowing (set[str] | None) – the observations

  • values (dict[str, int] | None) – value for certain variables

Return type:

None
