Do-calculus
Do-calculus is a set of mathematical rules devised by Judea Pearl in 1995 to determine whether causal effects can be identified from observational data under specific assumptions encoded in a causal graph. It provides a systematic method for transforming expressions involving the do-operator (representing interventions) into expressions involving only observable probabilities, enabling the identification of causal relationships.
