Class BollenTing

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.ntad_test.NtadTest
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.ntad_test.BollenTing
public class BollenTing extends NtadTest
The BollenTing class extends the NtadTest class and provides statistical methods for computing tetrad and tetrads statistics. These computations are used in hypothesis testing and involve tetrad determinants and p-values derived from chi-squared distributions. The class supports handling single and multiple tetrads, as well as flexible options such as resampling and fractional sampling rates.

  • Constructor Details

    • BollenTing

      public BollenTing(org.ejml.simple.SimpleMatrix df)
      Constructs a BollenTing object for performing statistical operations based on the given data matrix. This constructor initializes the instance using the input data matrix and sets a default value for the covariances flag (false), meaning the covariance matrices will be computed from the input data.
      Parameters:
      df - the input data matrix as a SimpleMatrix object, where each row represents an observation and each column represents a variable.

    • BollenTing

      public BollenTing(org.ejml.simple.SimpleMatrix df, boolean covariances)
      Constructs a BollenTing object for performing statistical operations. This constructor initializes the instance using a data matrix and a boolean flag indicating whether covariance matrices should be used directly or computed from the input data.
      Parameters:
      df - the input data matrix as a SimpleMatrix object, where each row represents an observation and each column represents a variable.
      covariances - a boolean flag that determines whether the input matrix is treated as a covariance matrix (true) or as raw data from which covariances should be calculated (false).

    • tetrad

      public double tetrad(int[][] tet, boolean resample, double frac)
      Description copied from class: NtadTest
      Computes the value of a statistical test based on the given tetrad configuration, with optional resampling. A tetrad is a set of indices representing structural relationships among variables. This method evaluates the statistical consistency of such configurations.
      Specified by:
      tetrad in class NtadTest
      Parameters:
      tet - a 2D integer array where each inner array defines a tetrad configuration. Each configuration specifies indices representing structural relationships among variables.
      resample - a boolean indicating whether resampling should be applied to the data matrix for the computation.
      frac - a double value representing the fraction of data to use during resampling, ignored if resample is false.
      Returns:
      a double value representing the computed result of the statistical tetrad test.

    • tetrads

      public double tetrads(List<int[][]> tets, boolean resample, double frac)

    • tetrad

      public double tetrad(int[][] tet)
      Description copied from class: NtadTest
      Computes the value of a statistical test based on the input tetrad configuration. A tetrad is a set of indices specifying structural relationships between variables, and this method evaluates the statistical consistency of such configurations.
      Specified by:
      tetrad in class NtadTest
      Parameters:
      tet - a 2D integer array where each inner array defines a tetrad configuration. Each tetrad specifies indices representing a structural relationship among variables.
      Returns:
      a double value representing the computed result of the statistical tetrad test.

    • tetrads

      public double tetrads(int[][]... tets)
      Description copied from class: NtadTest
      Computes the statistical test results for multiple sets of tetrad configurations. A tetrad is a set of indices specifying structural relationships among variables, and this method evaluates the statistical consistency for each provided configuration.
      Specified by:
      tetrads in class NtadTest
      Parameters:
      tets - a series of 2D integer arrays, where each array contains multiple tetrad configurations. Each configuration specifies a set of indices representing structural relationships among variables.
      Returns:
      a double value representing the aggregated or combined result of the statistical tests applied to the provided tetrad configurations.

    • tetrads

      public double tetrads(List<int[][]> tets)
      Description copied from class: NtadTest
      Computes a statistical measure based on the input list of tetrad configurations. Each tetrad configuration represents a set of structural relationships among variables. This method evaluates and combines the statistical results of all provided configurations.
      Specified by:
      tetrads in class NtadTest
      Parameters:
      tets - a list of 2D integer arrays where each array contains multiple tetrad configurations. Each configuration is a set of integer indices representing structural relationships.
