We describe a method for removing the effect of confounders in order to reconstruct a latent quantity of interest. The method, referred to as half-sibling regression, is inspired by recent work in causal inference using additive noise models. We provide a theoretical justification and illustrate the potential of the method in a challenging astronomy application.

  1. Nature versus nurture in galaxy formation: the effect of environment on star formation with causal machine learning

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using causal machine learning on IllustrisTNG, environment is estimated to suppress star formation by up to ~100x at z=0 but to boost it by ~10x at z~1 and more at higher redshifts.
