Abstract

[This chapter presents the PC-simple algorithm and illustrates how to use the algorithm in the exploration for local causal relationships around a target variable. PC-simple is a simplified version of the PC algorithm, a classic method for learning a complete casual Bayesian network. We firstly discuss how the PC algorithm establishes causal relationships by the way of detecting persistent associations, then we introduce PC-simple in detail, followed by the discussions on PC-simple. The last section of this chapter introduces the R implementation of PC-simple.]
