On the Identifiability of Mixed Ordinal and Exponential Family Causal DAGs under Linear Parametric Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

The problem of identifiability in linear parametric models (LPMs) whose nodes follow either an ordered logit model or a regular one-parameter exponential family is evaluated. The results go beyond classical structural equation models as well as results for nodes with observations from a homogeneous family of distributions. The main result establishes that the orientation of every edge joining an ordinal node to an exponential-family node is identifiable from the joint distribution alone at every parameter value, provided the ordinal node has at least three categories and the exponential-family
