Credici: A Java Toolbox for Causal Inference Using Credal Methods

_images/logo.png

Credici is an open-source Java library for causal analysis. Inference is done using well-founded methods for inference on credal networks, which is done in a transparently to the user.

The main features of Credici are:

  • Allows to easily define Structural Causal Networks (SCM).

  • Causal inference: causal effects and counterfactuals.

  • Inference is based in methods for inference in credal networks (exact and approximate).

  • SCMs can me transformed in equivalent credal networks can be exported in UAI format.

Installation

Credici can be installed from maven. For further details, check the Installation section.
