Causal Discovery via Transformed Low-Rank Quantile Surfaces

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

We propose Low-Rank Quantile Surfaces (LRQS), a bivariate causal model in which, in the causal direction, an unknown monotone transformation of the conditional quantile surface admits a low-rank functional decomposition. LRQS subsumes location-scale noise models and post-nonlinear heteroscedastic noise models, while allowing multiple quantile bases to represent changes beyond location-scale effects. We prove generic identifiability of LRQS: the transformed quantile surface is low rank in the causal direction, whereas reverse representability under the corresponding constraints occurs only for
