Learning Causal Graphs in Manufacturing Domains using Structural Equation Models

Maximilian Kertel, Stefan Harmeling, Markus Pauly

Many production processes are characterized by numerous and complex cause-and-effect relationships. Since they are only partially known they pose a challenge to effective process control. In this work we present how Structural Equation Models can be used for deriving cause-and-effect relationships from the combination of prior knowledge and process data in the manufacturing domain. Compared to existing applications, we do not assume linear relationships leading to more informative results.
