Estrest

Estrest is a Python library that enables causal reasoning for the semantic models of programs. Programs are modeled using event structures [1], which is a semantic model for concurrency, and the structural equations framework of Halpern and Pearl [2] is used to check whether specific events satisfy the actual cause conditions of some effect in the model.
