This functions computes functional constraints known as Verma constraints for a joint distribution of a given semi-Markovian causal model.
verma.constraints(G)
An igraph
object describing the directed acyclic graph induced by the causal model that matches the internal syntax.
A list of lists, each with five components corresponding to the functional constraint. The two equal c-factors that imply the functional independence are described by lhs.cfactor
and rhs.cfactor
and their expressions are given by lhs.expr
and rhs.expr
respectively. The independent variables are given by vars
.
