Causally minimal nonfaithful Gaussian model
ID: causally-minimal-nonfaithful-gaussian-model
Let be independent random variables with the standard normal distribution and set , , . The complete acyclic graph with edges , , is causally minimal: deleting each edge imposes a false marginal or conditional independence. Yet because , so faithfulness of a directed acyclic graph fails. Nonzero structural coefficients alone do not ensure faithfulness.
