Class IndTestBlocksLemma10

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.test.IndTestBlocksLemma10
All Implemented Interfaces:
BlockTest, IndependenceTest, EffectiveSampleSizeSettable
@Deprecated(since="7.9", forRemoval=false) public class IndTestBlocksLemma10 extends Object implements IndependenceTest, BlockTest, EffectiveSampleSizeSettable
Deprecated.
Block-level CI test using Dong et al. (2024) Lemma 10:

C d-separates A and B iff rank( Σ_{A∪C, B∪C} ) = |C|

Finite-sample surrogate: use RankTests.estimateWilksRank(...) on (A∪C, B∪C). Decision can be EQ/LE/GE with integer tolerance 'tol'.

p-value is reported via RankTests.pValueIndepConditioned(S, A∪C, B∪C, ∅, n), so it is at least monotone with the same Wilks machinery you already use.

Thread-safe LRU caches (like IndTestBlocks).

    • IndTestBlocksLemma10

      public IndTestBlocksLemma10(BlockSpec blockSpec)
      Deprecated.
      Constructs an instance of IndTestBlocksLemma10 using the provided block specification. Performs initialization, validation of inputs, and precomputes necessary structures for block-based independence tests.
      Parameters:
      blockSpec - The block specification containing details about variables, dataset, and block definitions. Must not be null.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If blockSpec is null, if any variable or block in blockSpec is invalid, if there are duplicate variables, or if a block references a column outside the dataset dimensions.
