CausalVerify - Instrumental Variables: leaderboard
Metric: Execution-grounded pass rate (%; L2b+ over the 24 instrumental-variables scenarios; the model writes R code for a fixed-seed synthetic scenario from the research question, data description and a preview of the realised CSV; the code is executed and passes when the treatment-effect estimate it reports (read by a Claude Haiku 4.5 coefficient-extraction judge, event-study windows mapped to the canonical scale) is within 50% relative error of a canonical estimator applied to the same realised data; single-shot; the printed passes/24 count is read and converted to percent). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 7 models tracked.
