@soboleffspaces I have a question: given a DAG that is compatible with an observational dataset. But I have an extra variable, that is not yet part of this DAG, for which I do not have the data yet. What can be said about the stability of this DAG if later on this var is added?


1) DAG represents knowledge, rather than data. 2) The variable's inclusion in the graph is often determined by the level of abstraction. 3) Our assumption is that the dependence of pa(X) -> X remains unchanged when we modify the graph.


Does this mean that the existing edges would not change due to the inclusion of this new variable? Only new edges could be add, but the old ones would not change?


Well, DAG may evolve as we learn more. But adding a node shouldn’t affect the existing arrows, unless of course you aggregate some nodes👇🏻
