restrict_by_query

model

a list of character vectors specifying nodal types to be removed from the model. Use <code>get_nodal_types</code> to see syntax.

statement

A string or a list of strings. The logical operator joining expanded types when <code>statement</code> contains wildcard (<code>.</code>). Can take values <code>'&amp;'</code> (logical AND) or <code>'|'</code> (logical OR). When restriction contains wildcard (<code>.</code>) and <code>join_by</code> is not specified, it defaults to <code>'|'</code>, otherwise it defaults to <code>NULL</code>.

join_by

Logical. If `FALSE`, removes and if `TRUE` keeps only causal types specified by <code>restriction</code>.

keep

internal

Users can declare binary causal models, update beliefs about causal types given data and calculate arbitrary estimands. Model definition makes use of 'dagitty' functionality. Updating is implemented in 'stan'. The approach used in 'CausalQueries' is a generalization of the 'biqq' models described in "Mixing Methods: A Bayesian Approach" (Humphreys and Jacobs, 2015, <DOI:10.1017/S0003055415000453>). The conceptual extension makes use of work on probabilistic causal models described in Pearl's Causality (Pearl, 2009, <DOI:10.1017/CBO9780511803161>).
