Researchers have developed a new method for causal inference that addresses the challenge of unobserved confounding. Their approach leverages mixture learning to identify the underlying confounding structure by recovering the mixture distribution, particularly when the unobserved confounder is categorical. The proposed estimation procedure uses tensor decomposition, offering consistent recovery of the latent structure with non-asymptotic guarantees and demonstrating effectiveness in simulations and real-world experiments.
