Evaluation of model causal faithfulness on the Edgar Domain dataset, measured using nAOPC, nComp, and \|∆CE\| scores.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Causal Faithfulness Evaluation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Edgar Domain |
| Metric | nAOPC |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 28 of 28 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [nAOPC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-faithfulness-evaluation-on-edgar-domain.md?metric=nAOPC>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [nComp](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-faithfulness-evaluation-on-edgar-domain.md?metric=nComp>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [\|∆CE\|](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-faithfulness-evaluation-on-edgar-domain.md?metric=%7C%E2%88%86CE%7C>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
