gRain (version 0.8.1)

grain: Graphical Independence Network

Description

The 'grain' builds a graphical independence network.

Usage

grain(x, data, control=list(), smooth=0, details=0, ...)

Arguments

x

An argument to build an independence network from.

data

An optional data set (currently must be an array/table)

control

A list defining controls, see 'details' below.

smooth

A (usuall small) number to add to the counts of a table if the grain is built from a graph plus a dataset.

details

Debugging information.

...

Additional arguments, currently not used.

Value

• An object of class "grain"

Details

If 'smooth' is non-zero then entries of 'values' which a zero are replaced by the value of 'smooth' - BEFORE any normalization takes place.
