seq_pa_ch_monitor: Sequential parent-child node monitors

Description

Sequential node monitor for a vertex of a Bayesian network for a specific configuration of its parents

Usage

seq_pa_ch_monitor(dag, df, node.name, pa.names, pa.val, alpha = "default")

Value

A vector including the scores \(Z_{ij}\).

Arguments

dag

an object of class bn from the bnlearn package

df

a base R style dataframe

node.name

node over which to compute the monitor

pa.names

vector including the names of the parents of node.name

pa.val

vector including the levels of pa.names considered

alpha

single integer. By default, the number of max levels in df

Details

Consider a Bayesian network over variables \(Y_1,\dots,Y_m\) and suppose a dataset \((\boldsymbol{y}_1,\dots,\boldsymbol{y}_n)\) has been observed, where \(\boldsymbol{y}_i=(y_{i1},\dots,y_{im})\) and \(y_{ij}\) is the i-th observation of the j-th variable. Consider a configuration \(\pi_j\) of the parents and consider the sub-vector \(\boldsymbol{y}'=(\boldsymbol{y}_1',\dots,\boldsymbol{y}_{N'}')\) of \((\boldsymbol{y}_1,\dots,\boldsymbol{y}_n)\) including observations where the parents of \(Y_j\) take value \(\pi_j\) only. Let \(p_i(\cdot|\pi_j)\) be the conditional distribution of \(Y_j\) given that its parents take value \(\pi_j\) after the first i-1 observations have been processed. Define $$E_i = \sum_{k=1}^Kp_i(d_k|\pi_j)\log(p_i(d_k|\pi_j)),$$ $$V_i = \sum_{k=1}^K p_i(d_k|\pi_j)\log^2(p_i(d_k|\pi_j))-E_i^2,$$ where \((d_1,\dots,d_K)\) are the possible values of \(Y_j\). The sequential parent-child node monitor for the vertex \(Y_j\) and parent configuration \(\pi_j\) is defined as $$Z_{ij}=\frac{-\sum_{k=1}^i\log(p_k(y_{kj}'|\pi_j))-\sum_{k=1}^i E_k}{\sqrt{\sum_{k=1}^iV_k}}.$$ Values of \(Z_{ij}\) such that \(|Z_{ij}|> 1.96\) can give an indication of a poor model fit for the vertex \(Y_j\) after the first i-1 observations have been processed.
