Sampling Data Points with a Candidate Model

Now we have all the ingredients required to sample data points of the estimated distribution QX,YQ_{X , Y} with the generative model by proceeding as follow:

  1. Draw {(nX,j,nY,j)}j=1n\{(n_{X,j}, n_{Y,j})\}_{j=1}^n , n samples independent and identically distributed from the joint distribution QNX(θNX)×QNY(θNY)Q_{N_X}(\theta_{N_X})\times Q_{N_Y}(\theta_{N_Y}) of independent noise variables (NX,NY)( N_X , N_Y ).
  2. Generate n samples D^={(x^j,y^j)}j=1n\hat{\mathcal{D}} = \{(\hat{x}_j, \hat{y}_j) \}_{j=1}^n, where each estimated sample x^j\hat{x}_j of variable XX is computed from f^X(θX)\hat{f}_X(\theta_X) with the j-th estimated samples nX,jn_{X , j}; then each estimated sample y^j\hat{y}_j of variable YY is computed from f^Y(θY)\hat{f}_Y(\theta_Y) with the j-th estimated samples nY,jn_{Y , j} and x^j\hat{x}_j.

Generative candidate models supports both interventions and counterfactual reasoning.
