Causal model

In metaphysics and statistics, a causal model (also called a structural causal model) is a conceptual model that represents the causal mechanisms of a system. Causal models often employ formal causal notation, such as structural equation modeling or causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), to describe relationships among variables and to guide inference.
