FactorAnalysis

public FactorAnalysis()

Constructs a new instance of the algorithm.

Method Details

runSearch

public Graph runSearch(DataModel dataModel,
 Parameters parameters)

Executes a factor analysis search on the given data model using the provided parameters.

Parameters:

dataModel - The data model to perform the factor analysis on.

parameters - The parameters for the factor analysis.

Returns:

The resulting graph after performing the factor analysis.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the data model is not a continuous dataset.

getComparisonGraph

public Graph getComparisonGraph(Graph graph)

Returns an undirected graph used for comparison.

Specified by:

getComparisonGraph in interface Algorithm

Parameters:

graph - The true directed graph, if there is one.

Returns:

The undirected graph for comparison.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns a short, one-line description of this algorithm. This will be printed in the report.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Algorithm

Returns:

The description of the algorithm.

getDataType

public DataType getDataType()

Returns the data type that the search requires, whether continuous, discrete, or mixed.

Specified by:

getDataType in interface Algorithm

Returns:

The data type required by the search.

getParameters

public List<String> getParameters()

Retrieves the parameters for the current instance of the FactorAnalysis class.

Specified by:

getParameters in interface HasParameters

Returns:

a list of strings representing the parameters for the factor analysis.
