GraphoidAxioms

public GraphoidAxioms(Set<GraphoidAxioms.GraphoidIndFact> facts,
 List<Node> nodes)

Constructor.

Parameters:

facts - A set of GraphoidIndFacts.

nodes - The list of nodes.

GraphoidAxioms

public GraphoidAxioms(Set<GraphoidAxioms.GraphoidIndFact> facts,
 List<Node> nodes,
 Map<GraphoidAxioms.GraphoidIndFact,String> textSpecs)

Constructor.

Parameters:

facts - A list of GraphoidIndFacts.

nodes - The list of nodes.

textSpecs - A map from GraphoidIndFacts to String text specs. The text specs are used for printing information to the user about which facts are found or are missing.

Method Details

main

public static void main(String... args)

The main methods.

Parameters:

args - E.g., "java -cp tetrad-gui-7.1.3-SNAPSHOT-launch.jar edu.cmu.tetrad.search.utils.GraphoidAxioms udags5.txt 5" Here, udgas5.txt is a file containing independence models, one per line, where each independence fast is specified by, e.g., "1:23|56", indicating that 1 is independence of 2 and 3 conditional on 5 and 6. No more than 9 variables can be handled this way. If you need more, let us know and we'll change the format.

semigraphoid

public boolean semigraphoid()

Checked whether the IM is a semigraphoid.

Returns:

True, if so.

graphoid

public boolean graphoid()

Checks whether teh IM is a semigraphoid.

Returns:

True, if so.

compositionalGraphoid

public boolean compositionalGraphoid()

Checks whether the IM is a compositional graphoid.

Returns:

True, if so.

getIndependenceFacts

public IndependenceFacts getIndependenceFacts()

Returns the independence facts in the form 1:2|3 for use in various Tetrad algorithms. Assumes decomposition and compositios, so that there are no complex independence facts.

symmetry

public boolean symmetry()

Checks is symmetry holds--i.e., X ⊥⊥ Y | Z ==> Y ⊥⊥ X | Z

decomposition

public boolean decomposition()

Checks if decomposition holds, e.g., X ⊥⊥ (Y ∪ W) |Z ==> (X ⊥⊥ Y |Z) ∧ (X ⊥⊥ W |Z)

weakUnion

public boolean weakUnion()

Checks is weak union holds, e.g., X _||_ Y U W | Z ==> X _||_ Y | Z U W

contraction

public boolean contraction()

Checks if contraction holds--e.g., (X ⊥⊥ Y |Z) ∧ (X ⊥⊥ W |Z ∪ Y) ==> X ⊥⊥ (Y ∪ W) |Z

intersection

public boolean intersection()

Checks if intersection holds--e.g., (X ⊥⊥ Y | (Z ∪ W)) ∧ (X ⊥⊥ W | (Z ∪ Y)) ==> X ⊥⊥ (Y ∪ W) |Z

composition

public boolean composition()

Checks if composition holds--e.g., (X ⊥⊥ Y | Z) ∧ (X ⊥⊥ W |Z) ==> X ⊥⊥ (Y ∪ W) |Z

ensureTriviality

public void ensureTriviality()

Sets whether triviality as assumed.

ensureSymmetry

public void ensureSymmetry()

Sets symmetry as assumed--i.e., ensures that X ⊥⊥ Y | Z ==> Y ⊥⊥ X | Z.
