Class DegenerateGaussianScore

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.score.DegenerateGaussianScore
All Implemented Interfaces:
Score
public class DegenerateGaussianScore extends Object implements Score
=This implements the degenerate Gaussian BIC score for FGES. The degenerate Gaussian score replaces each discrete variable in the data with a list of 0/1 continuous indicator columns for each of the categories but one (the last one implied). This data, now all continuous, is given to the SEM BIC score and methods used to help determine conditional independence for the mixed continuous/discrete case from this information. The references is as follows:

Andrews, B., Ramsey, J., & Cooper, G. F. (2019, July). Learning high-dimensional directed acyclic graphs with mixed data-types. In The 2019 ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Causal Discovery (pp. 4-21). PMLR.

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