Constructor Details

TrueDagPrecisionTails

public TrueDagPrecisionTails()

This class represents a statistic that calculates the precision for tails compared to the true DAG.

Method Details

getAbbreviation

public String getAbbreviation()

Returns the abbreviation for the statistic.

Specified by:

getAbbreviation in interface Statistic

Returns:

The abbreviation string.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns a short one-line description of this statistic. This will be printed at the beginning of the report.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Statistic

Returns:

The description of the statistic.

getValue

public double getValue(Graph trueDag,
 Graph trueGraph,
 Graph estGraph,
 DataModel dataModel,
 Parameters parameters)

Calculates the precision of directed edges in the estimated graph (estGraph) relative to a true directed acyclic graph (trueDag). The precision is measured as the proportion of edges X-->Y in the estimated graph for which there is a path X~~>Y in the true DAG.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Statistic

Parameters:

trueDag - The true directed acyclic graph (DAG) used as a reference for evaluation.

trueGraph - The overall true graph which may contain additional information (not directly used in this method).

estGraph - The estimated graph containing the edges to be evaluated.

dataModel - The data model used (not directly used in the current calculation).

parameters - Additional parameters for computation (not directly used in the current calculation).

Returns:

The precision value as a double, representing the proportion of correctly identified directed edges.

getNormValue

public double getNormValue(double value)

Calculates the normalized value of a statistic.

Specified by:

getNormValue in interface Statistic

Parameters:

value - The value of the statistic.

Returns:

The normalized value of the statistic.
