Class DagScorer

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.sem.DagScorer
All Implemented Interfaces:
Scorer, TetradSerializable, Serializable
public final class DagScorer extends Object implements TetradSerializable, Scorer
Estimates a SemIm given a CovarianceMatrix and a SemPm. (A DataSet may be substituted for the CovarianceMatrix.) Uses regression to do the estimation, so this is only for DAG models. But the DAG model may be reset on the fly and the estimation redone. Variables whose parents have not changed will not be reestimated. Intended to speed up estimation for algorithm that require repeated estimation of DAG models over the same variables. Assumes all variables are measured.

    • serializableInstance

      public static Scorer serializableInstance()
      Generates a simple exemplar of this class to test serialization.

    • score

      public double score(Graph dag)
