Abstract:

Temporal causal pathways may exist among biomarkers. If one biomarker was modified by external stimulations at time t, the other biomarkers may change at time (t+1). In this work, we propose a novel method to identify latent intervenable causal pathways using high-dimensional temporal biomarkers. The model adjusts for the endogenous components that are non-intervenable and separates the temporal causal network from the contemporaneous network. We demonstrate our method by extensive simulations and an application to a study of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to analyze the causal relationships between brain biomarkers.
