Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, from observation samples of a plurality of factors, a first causal structure indicating a first causal relationship among the plurality of factors, each observation sample including a set of observation values of the plurality of factors;
presenting the first causal structure to a user;
in response to receiving at least one user input about the first causal structure from the user, executing actions associated with the at least one user input based on the first causal structure; and
presenting a result of the execution of the actions to the user,
wherein the at least one user input comprises an edit operation performed on the first causal structure,
wherein the first causal structure is presented as a causal graph comprising a plurality of nodes corresponding to the plurality of factors and at least one edge connecting the plurality of nodes, the at least one edge indicates the first causal relationship among the plurality of factors, and
wherein the edit operation comprises adding one or more labels to the causal graph, so as to indicate prior knowledge about causality among the plurality of nodes.
