A novel hybrid approach for positive-valued DAG learning

ArXi:2604.08935v1 Announce Type: cross Causal discovery from observational data remains a fundamental challenge in machine learning and statistics, particularly when variables represent inherently positive quantities such as gene expression levels, asset prices, company revenues, or population counts, which often follow multiplicative rather than additive dynamics. We propose the Hybrid Moment-Ratio Scoring (H-MRS) algorithm, a novel method for learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from positive-valued data by combining moment-based scoring with log-scale regression.
