Evaluating Causal Discovery Algorithms for Path-Specific Fairness and Utility in Healthcare
Causal discovery in health data faces evaluation challenges when ground truth is unknown. We address this by collaborating with experts to construct proxy ground-truth graphs, establishing benchmarks for synthetic Alzheimer's disease and heart failure clinical records data. We evaluate the Peter-Clark, Greedy Equivalence Search, and Fast Causal Inference algorithms on structural recovery and path-specific fairness decomposition, going beyond composite fairness scores. On synthetic data, Peter-Cl
