Class ScoreIndTest

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.test.ScoreIndTest
All Implemented Interfaces:
IndependenceTest
public class ScoreIndTest extends Object implements IndependenceTest
Gives a way of interpreting a score as an independence test. The contract is that the score returned will be negative for independence and positive for dependence; this simply reports these differences.
