First, we discuss methods for causal structure learning from observational data when confounders are not present and have a close look at methods for exact identifiability. We then turn to methods which allow for a mix of observational and interventional data, where we also touch on active learning strategies. Wealso discuss methods which allow arbitrarily complex structures of hidden variables. Second, we present approaches for estimating the interventional distribution and causal effects given the (true or estimated) causal structure. We close with a note on available software and two examples on real data.
