Constructor Details

IndTestSepset

public IndTestSepset(SepsetMapDci sepset,
 List<Node> nodes)

Constructs a new independence test that returns d-separation facts for the given graph as independence results.

Method Details

indTestSubset

public IndependenceTest indTestSubset(List<Node> vars)

Required by IndependenceTest.

Specified by:

indTestSubset in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

an Independence test for a subset of the variables.

checkIndependence

public IndependenceResult checkIndependence(Node x,
 Node y,
 List<Node> z)

Checks the indicated independence fact.

Specified by:

checkIndependence in interface IndependenceTest

Parameters:

x - one node.

y - a second node.

z - a List of nodes (conditioning variables)

Returns:

true iff x _||_ y | z

getPValue

public double getPValue()

Needed for IndependenceTest interface. P value is not meaningful here.

getVariables

public List<Node> getVariables()

Specified by:

getVariables in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

the list of TetradNodes over which this independence checker is capable of determinine independence relations-- that is, all the variables in the given graph or the given data set.

getVariableNames

public List<String> getVariableNames()

Specified by:

getVariableNames in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

the list of variable varNames.

determines

public boolean determines(List<Node> z,
 Node x1)

Specified by:

determines in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

true if y is determined the variable in z.

getAlpha

public double getAlpha()

Specified by:

getAlpha in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

the significance level of the independence test.

setAlpha

public void setAlpha(double alpha)

Description copied from interface: IndependenceTest

Sets the significance level.

Specified by:

setAlpha in interface IndependenceTest

getVariable

public Node getVariable(String name)

Specified by:

getVariable in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

the variable by the given name.

getVariable

public Node getVariable(Node node)

Returns:

the variable associated with the given node in the graph.

getNode

public Node getNode(Node variable)

Returns:

the node associated with the given variable in the graph.

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in interface IndependenceTest

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getData

public DataSet getData()

Specified by:

getData in interface IndependenceTest

Returns:

The data model for the independence test.

getCov

public ICovarianceMatrix getCov()

Specified by:

getCov in interface IndependenceTest

getDataSets

public List<DataSet> getDataSets()

Specified by:

getDataSets in interface IndependenceTest

isVerbose

public boolean isVerbose()

Specified by:

isVerbose in interface IndependenceTest

setVerbose

public void setVerbose(boolean verbose)

Specified by:

setVerbose in interface IndependenceTest
