BALANCE: Bayesian Linear Attribution for Root Cause Localization
Summary: BALANCE applies Bayesian linear attribution (BMFS) to predict KPIs from candidate root causes, promoting sparsity while handling multicollinearity. It performs backward attribution with KPI merging for RCA, delivering real-time localization and measurable accuracy gains across diverse RCA tasks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
