causal-learn: Causal Discovery for Python

Causal-learn is a python package for causal discovery that implements both classical and state-of-the-art causal discovery algorithms, which is a Python translation and extension of Tetrad.

The package is actively being developed. Feedbacks (issues, suggestions, etc.) are highly encouraged.

Package Overview

Our causal-learn implements methods for causal discovery:

• Constrained-based causal discovery methods.
• Score-based causal discovery methods.
• Causal discovery methods based on constrained functional causal models.
• Hidden causal representation learning.
• Granger causality.
• Multiple utilities for building your own method, such as independence tests, score functions, graph operations, and evaluations.
