Abstract
Discovering causal pattern among the set of variables in a database is the primary task of data mining thereby well predicted models can be developed for decision making. This research article offers a review of open source and easy to use software package Tetrad used to explore the causal relations in terms of a diagram directed acyclic graph (DAG). Causal modeling through directed acyclic graphs is a powerful analytic tool that explores the cause and effect relationship between study variables especially in the time series data that encompass of higher variations. DAG modeling can be seen as an alternative to many of the statistical procedures like path analysis or structural equation modeling (SEM).
