ID algorithm for discovering new identification strategies
ID algorithm (Shpitser & Pearl 2006) is an advanced algorithm for identification of causal effect. To use the ID algorithm, you can specify the method name,
>>> # model is an instance of CausalModel
>>> identified_estimand = model.identify_effect(method="id-algorithm")
>>> print(identified_estimand)
Alternatively, you can use the functional API.
>>> from dowhy.causal_identifier import identify_effect_id
>>> identified_estimand_id = identify_effect_id(
>>> graph, treatment_name, outcome_name,
>>> )
>>> # Note that the return type for id_identify_effect is IDExpression and not IdentifiedEstimand
>>> print(identified_estimand)
