Class Wishart

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.ntad_test.NtadTest
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.ntad_test.Wishart
public class Wishart extends NtadTest
The Wishart class is a concrete implementation of the NtadTest abstract class, specifically for statistical tests based on the Wishart distribution. It performs calculations for tetrads and their associated p-values using covariance matrices derived from the input data.

  • Constructor Details

    • Wishart

      public Wishart(org.ejml.simple.SimpleMatrix df, boolean covariances)
      Constructs a Wishart test object based on the given data matrix and covariance option. This method initializes
      Parameters:
      df - the input data matrix as a SimpleMatrix object, where each row represents an observation and each
      covariances - a boolean flag indicating whether to compute covariances.

    • 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.

    • 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)
      Returns the p-value for the tetrad. This constructor is required by the interface, though in truth it will throw and exception if more than one tetrad is provided.
      Specified by:
      tetrads in class NtadTest
      Parameters:
      tets - A single tetrad.
      Returns:
      The p-value for the tetrad.

    • tetrads

      public double tetrads(List<int[][]> tets)
      Returns the p-value for the tetrad. This constructor is required by the interface, though in truth it will throw and exception if more than one tetrad is provided.
      Specified by:
      tetrads in class NtadTest
      Parameters:
      tets - A single tetrad.
      Returns:
      The p-value for the tetrad.
