Tetrad Manual

Welcome to the official documentation for Tetrad, the open-source platform for causal discovery, causal inference, simulation, and graph-based statistical reasoning developed at Carnegie Mellon University.

Tetrad provides:

  • A graphical user interface (GUI) for interactive causal modeling

  • A comprehensive Java library with search algorithms, scores, and independence tests

  • Python and R bindings (Py-Tetrad and RPy-Tetrad)

  • A flexible architecture for extending algorithms, adding custom tests, and integrating new workflows

This site is the Read the Docs version of the Tetrad manual, reorganized into small, navigable sections for ease of use.
