Class ConditionalGaussianScore

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.score.ConditionalGaussianScore
All Implemented Interfaces:
Score
public class ConditionalGaussianScore extends Object implements Score

Implements a conditional Gaussian BIC score for FGS, which calculates a BIC score for mixed discrete/Gaussian data using the conditional Gaussian likelihood function (see). The reference is here:

Andrews, B., Ramsey, J., & Cooper, G. F. (2018). Scoring Bayesian networks of mixed variables. International journal of data science and analytics, 6, 3-18.

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

    • ConditionalGaussianScore

      public ConditionalGaussianScore(DataSet dataSet, double penaltyDiscount, boolean discretize)
      Constructs the score using a covariance matrix.
      Parameters:
      dataSet - A dataset with a mixture of continuous and discrete variables. It may be all continuous or all discrete.
      penaltyDiscount - A multiplier on the penalty term in the BIC score.
      discretize - When a discrete variable is a child of a continuous variable, one (expensive) way to solve the problem is to do a numerical integration. A less expensive (and often more accurate) way to solve the problem is to discretize the child with a certian number of discrete categories. if this parameter is set to True, a separate copy of all variables is maintained that is discretized in this way, and these are substituted for the discrete children when this sort of problem needs to be solved. This information needs to be known in the constructor since one needs to know right away whether ot create this separate discretized version of the continuous columns.
