Enum Class ConditioningSetType

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<ConditioningSetType>
edu.cmu.tetrad.search.ConditioningSetType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<ConditioningSetType>, Constable
public enum ConditioningSetType extends Enum<ConditioningSetType>
The type of conditioning set to use for the Markov check. The default is LOCAL_MARKOV, which uses the parents of the target variable to predict the separation set.

All of these options are available for DAG models as well as latent variable models. M-separation is used to determine if two variables are independent given a conditioning set or dependent given a conditioning set, which is a correct procedure in both cases. The conditioning set is the set of variables that are conditioned on in the independence test.

      public static ConditioningSetType[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static ConditioningSetType valueOf(String name)

      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
