Evaluation of Causal Graph Discovery methods on the 'Child' dataset configuration specified with 20 nodes and 25 edges, measured using metrics such as Accuracy, F Score, NPE, and Ratio.

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 Graph Discovery |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Child 20 nodes, 25 edges |
| Metric | Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 36 of 36 |
| 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

- [Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [F Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=F%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NPE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=NPE>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Ratio](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=Ratio>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Precision](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=Precision>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Recall](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=Recall>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NHD](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=NHD>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Reference NHD](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=Reference%20NHD>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NHD Ratio](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/causal-graph-discovery-on-child-20-nodes-25-edges.md?metric=NHD%20Ratio>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
