Abstract

The main feature of the paper is to show that Algebraic Statistics
is a natural framework to address issues of causality and to help discern a total
cause. Indeed identifiability of an effect of a cause in discrete models is almost
algebraic rather than graphical in nature. It is useful to think of it as such and
it leads to the definition of a large class of discrete models which comprises
popular ones.
