adjustment_set: Compute an adjustment set

Description

Computes an adjustment set for X -> Y in a DAG.

Usage

adjustment_set(
  cg,
  X = NULL,
  Y = NULL,
  X_index = NULL,
  Y_index = NULL,
  type = c("optimal", "parents", "backdoor")
)

Value

A character vector of node names representing the adjustment set.

Arguments

cg

A caugi object.

X, Y

Node names.

X_index, Y_index

Optional numeric 1-based indices.

type

One of "parents", "backdoor", "optimal". The optimal option computes the O-set.

Details

Types supported:

• "parents": \(\bigcup \mathrm{Pa}(X)\) minus \(X \cup Y\)

• "backdoor": Pearl backdoor formula

• "optimal": O-set (only for single x and single y)
