Class TetradTestContinuous

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.utils.TetradTestContinuous
All Implemented Interfaces:
TetradTest

public final class TetradTestContinuous extends Object implements TetradTest
Implements different tests of tetrad constraints: using Wishart's test (CPS, Wishart 1928); Bollen's test (Bollen, 1990) or a more computationally intensive test that fits one/two factor Gaussian models. These tests are the core statistical procedure of search algorithm BuildPureClusters and Purify.
