论文摘要
本文回顾了应用统计因果推理方法的软件工程中现有工作。这些方法旨在估算观察数据的因果效应。该评论涵盖了2010年至2022年之间发表的32篇论文。我们的结果表明,统计因果推理方法的应用相对较新,相应的研究社区仍然相对分散。
This paper reviews existing work in software engineering that applies statistical causal inference methods. These methods aim at estimating causal effects from observational data. The review covers 32 papers published between 2010 and 2022. Our results show that the application of statistical causal inference methods is relatively recent and that the corresponding research community remains relatively fragmented.
