Causal structure search and modeling of precision dairy farm data for automated prediction of ketosis risk, and the effect of potential interventions

Causal search techniques enable inference from observational data, such as that produced in Precision Livestock Farming. The Peter-Clark algorithm was used to produce four causal models, for the risk of ketosis in individual cows. The data set covered 1542 Holstein-Friesian cows on a commercial dair...
