Class PoissonPriorScore

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.score.PoissonPriorScore
All Implemented Interfaces:
Score
public class PoissonPriorScore extends Object implements Score
Implements Poisson prior score, a novel (unpubished) score that replaces the penalty term in BIC by the log of the Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution has a lambda parameter, which is made a parameter of this score and acts like a structure prior for the score.

Here is the Wikipedia page for the Poisson distribution, for reference:

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