Note that the graph of a causal model that contains bidirected arrows no longer determines the Markov factorization ðeq. for every directed causal path in the lower-level structure whose intermehere P*↑V is the restriction of probability distribution P* to variable set V. MLCM's causal models; it just tells us that M1 stands for the lowest level. models and provides information about the hierarchical order of the mechanism's levels the MLCM represents. Note that the MLCM's level graph tells us that causal models M2, M3, and This approach represents submechanisms not by means of a causal model's variables but by the edges ./cache/work_bgzuoidd4faapjspfxy74kzwxe.pdf ./txt/work_bgzuoidd4faapjspfxy74kzwxe.txt
