Identification of causal effects can be hampered by confounding, selection bias, and other complications. data fusion is one approach to addressing these difficulties, through the inclusion of auxiliary data on the population of interest. Such data may measure a different set of variables, or be obtained under different experimental or observational conditions than the primary dataset. In particular, selection of experimental units into different datasets may be systematic; similar difficulties are encountered in missing data problems. However, existing methods for combining datasets either do not consider this issue, or assume simple selection mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a general approach, based on graphical causal models, for causal inference from data on the same population that is obtained under different experimental conditions. Our framework allows both arbitrary unobserved confounding, and arbitrary selection processes into different experimental regimes in our data. We describe how systematic selection processes may be organized into a hierarchy similar to censoring processes in missing data: selected completely at random, selected at random, and selected not at random. Finally, we provide a novel general identification algorithm for interventional distributions in this setting.

The agriculture sector faces numerous challenges, such as the selection of profitable vegetable crops, the reduction of surplus vegetable stocks, and the minimization of product losses in various vegetable varieties. This research study aims to address these challenges by employing machine learning to predict the most profitable vegetable crop and the corresponding land area required for cultivation. This anal-ysis considers multiple factors, including weather conditions, cultivation expenses, seasons, location, production data, and historical crop cultivation data. Multiple machine learning algorithms were employed to develop accurate crop prediction models namely, random forest RF, multinomial logistic regression MLR, and Long Short-Term Memory LSTM. The results indicate that multinomial logistic regression archives a higher accuracy of 0.84 for crop prediction and the random forest algorithm gives an accuracy of 0.83. The LSTM model demonstrated an R2score of 0.831. The model outputs the most profitable crop, which serves as input for the land extent prediction system. The application predicts the required land area for selected crops using RFR and LR. RFR gives a higher R2score of 0.956, indicating its superior fit to the data while the LR model achieved an R2score of 0.45. The root mean squared error of the RFR was 23.95 whereas the LR model had 89.29. The findings of this research study provide valuable information like crops and land extent to be cultivated in a particular area to increase productivity. The impact of this work extends to enhancing food security and reducing poverty in Sri Lanka by allowing farmers with the tools and knowledge to make correct decisions at the correct time.
