Package edu.cmu.tetrad.search.score

Class IndTestScore

java.lang.Object

edu.cmu.tetrad.search.score.IndTestScore

All Implemented Interfaces:

Score

public class IndTestScore
extends Object
implements Score

Gives a method of interpreting a test as a score. Various independence tests will calculate p-values; they simply report alpha - p as a score, which will be higher for greater dependence. This class wraps such an independence test and returns the score reported by that test.

As for all scores in Tetrad, higher scores mean more dependence, and negative scores indicate independence.
