CPDAG

Rule table used for computing the parent adjustment distance for two CPDAGs according to the methods by Henckel et al. (2024b). For given sets $X$ and $Z$ , it finds certain nodes $y$ such that $Z$ cannot be used as an adjustment set with respect to $X$ and $y$ .

EDGES --> <--, ---
SETS X, W
COLORS pass, yield
START --> [pass] AT X
OUTPUT ... [yield]

... [pass]  | ---, --> [pass]  | next not in X and next not in W
... [pass]  | ---, --> [yield] | next not in X and next in W
... [yield] | ---, --> [yield] | next not in X
