You have six variables: X, Y, A, B, C and D. The following cause-and-effect statements hold:
1. A affects both X and Y.
2. B is caused by X.
3. X affects Y.
4. Y affects C.
5. B also affects D.
6. D affects Y.
Using these statements, draw a DAG (or conceptualize it) and then consider the following claims:
1. A is a confounder of the relationship between X and Y.
2. B is a collider on the path A -> X -> B <- D -> Y.
3. D lies on a direct path from X to Y.
4. Conditioning on A would block at least one backdoor path between X and Y.
Which combination of statements above is correct?
