edu.cmu.tetrad.search.BfciTr

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphSearch

public final class BfciTr
extends Object
implements GraphSearch

Does an FCI-style latent variable search using permutation-based reasoning. Follows GFCI to an extent; the GFCI reference is this:

Method Details

search

public Graph search()

Specified by:

search in interface GraphSearch

isCompleteRuleSetUsed

public boolean isCompleteRuleSetUsed()

Returns:

true if Zhang's complete rule set should be used, false if only R1-R4 (the rule set of the original FCI) should be used. False by default.

setCompleteRuleSetUsed

public void setCompleteRuleSetUsed(boolean completeRuleSetUsed)

Parameters:

completeRuleSetUsed - set to true if Zhang's complete rule set should be used, false if only R1-R4 (the rule set of the original FCI) should be used. False by default.

getMaxPathLength

public int getMaxPathLength()

Returns:

the maximum length of any discriminating path, or -1 of unlimited.

setMaxPathLength

public void setMaxPathLength(int maxPathLength)

Parameters:

maxPathLength - the maximum length of any discriminating path, or -1 if unlimited.

isVerbose

public boolean isVerbose()

True iff verbose output should be printed.

setVerbose

public void setVerbose(boolean verbose)

getTest

public IndependenceTest getTest()

The independence test.

setTest

public void setTest(IndependenceTest test)

getCovMatrix

public ICovarianceMatrix getCovMatrix()

getCovarianceMatrix

public ICovarianceMatrix getCovarianceMatrix()

setCovarianceMatrix

public void setCovarianceMatrix(ICovarianceMatrix covarianceMatrix)

getOut

public PrintStream getOut()

setOut
