On the Intersection Property of Conditional Independence and its Application to Causal Discovery

This work investigates the intersection property of conditional independence. It states that for random variables A,B,C$$A,B,C$$ and X we have that X⊥⊥A|B,C$$X \bot \bot A{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} |{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} B,C$$ and X⊥⊥B|A,C$$X\, \bot \bot\, B{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} |{\kern 1pt} {\kern...
