You have five variables: X, Y, R, S, and T. The statements:
1. X affects Y.
2. R affects X and does not affect Y directly.
3. S affects Y and does not affect X directly.
4. T is caused by X and also caused by Y.
5. There are no other connections except those described (or their implied transitive consequences).
Consider these claims:
1. R cannot be a confounder because it doesn’t directly affect Y.
2. S might be part of a backdoor path from X to Y only if there is some unobserved link from X to S.
3. T is a collider for X and Y.
4. Conditioning on T could introduce bias between X and Y.
5. Conditioning on R might have no impact on the backdoor path from X to Y.
Which combination is correct?
