ProDAS offers complete access and control over the data generation process, serving as an ideal environment for investigating disentanglement, causal discovery, out-of-distribution detection, and numerous other research questions. We provide pre-defined functions for the important cases of creating distinct and interconnected distributions, allowing the investigation of distribution shifts and other intriguing applications. The library can be found at https://github.com/XarwinM/ProDAS.
