Towards Clarifying the Theory of the Deconfounder
read the original abstract
Wang and Blei (2019) studies multiple causal inference and proposes the deconfounder algorithm. The paper discusses theoretical requirements and presents empirical studies. Several refinements have been suggested around the theory of the deconfounder. Among these, Imai and Jiang clarified the assumption of "no unobserved single-cause confounders." Using their assumption, this paper clarifies the theory. Furthermore, Ogburn et al. (2020) proposes counterexamples to the theory. But the proposed counterexamples do not satisfy the required assumptions.

Shrinkage priors for Bayesian Substitute Confounders
Bayesian shrinkage priors on factor models produce sparse substitute confounders that support consistent regression-adjusted causal estimates under latent variable identification assumptions.
