Contains classes for running conditional independence tests for various sorts of data.
  • Class
    Description
    Calculates marginal chi square test results for a discrete dataset.
    Simple class to store the parameters of the result returned by the G Square test.
    Checks conditional independence of variable in a continuous data set using Daudin's method.
    Gives a choice of basis functions to use for judgments of independence for conditional correlation independence.
    Gives a choice of kernels to use for the independence judgments for conditional correlation independence.
    Performs conditional independence tests of discrete data using the G Square method.
    Stores the parameters of the result returned by the G Square test and its p-value.
    Stores a single conditional independence result, e.g., whether X _||_ Y | Z1,..,Zn holds or does not, and the p-value of the test.
    Checks the conditional independence X _||_ Y | S, where S is a set of discrete variable, and X and Y are discrete variable not in S, by applying a conditional Chi Square test.
    Checks conditional independence of variable in a continuous data set using a conditional correlation test for the nonlinear nonGaussian with the additive error case.
    Performs a test of conditional independence X _||_ Y | Z1...Zn where all searchVariables are either continuous or discrete.
    Implements a degenerate Gaussian score as a LRT.
    Stores a return value for a likelihood--i.e., a likelihood value and the degrees of freedom for it.
    Checks conditional independence of variable in a continuous data set using Fisher's Z test.
    Calculates independence from pooled residuals using the Fisher Z method.
    Calculates independence from multiple datasets from using the Fisher method of pooling independence results.
    Checks the conditional independence X _||_ Y | S, where S is a set of discrete variable, and X and Y are discrete variable not in S, by applying a conditional G Square test.
    Checks the conditional independence X _||_ Y | S, where S is a set of continuous variable, and X and Y are discrete variable not in S, using the Hilbert-Schmidth Independence Criterion (HSIC), a kernel based nonparametric test for conditional independence.
    Checks conditional independence against a list of conditional independence facts, manually entered.
    Pools together a set of independence tests using a specified method.
    Performs a test of conditional independence X _||_ Y | Z1...Zn where all variables are either continuous or discrete.
    Uses BCInference by Cooper and Bui to calculate probabilistic conditional independence judgments.
    Checks independence of X _||_ Y | Z for variables X and Y and list Z of variables by regressing X on {Y} U Z and testing whether the coefficient for Y is zero.
    Checks d-separations in structural model using t-separations over indicators.
    Gives an implementation of the Kernal Independence Test (KCI) by Kun Zhang, which is a general test of conditional independence.
    Checks independence facts for variables associated with the nodes in a given graph by checking m-separation facts on the underlying nodes.
    Gives a way of interpreting a score as an independence test.
