Abstract

Using causal discovery methods (the pc algortihm combined with multiple imputation methods) an attempt was made to discover the causal structure in the 2016/2017 Lapop survey data. This was done to help answer the question which causal structure surrounds subjective well-being or happiness in Latin America.
