grain-main: Graphical Independence Network

Description

Creating grain objects (graphical independence network).

Usage

grain(x, ...)
# S3 method for cpt_spec
grain(x, control = list(), smooth = 0, compile = TRUE, details = 0, ...)
# S3 method for CPTspec
grain(x, control = list(), smooth = 0, compile = TRUE, details = 0, ...)
# S3 method for pot_spec
grain(x, control = list(), smooth = 0, compile = TRUE, details = 0, ...)
# S3 method for graphNEL
grain(
  x,
  control = list(),
  smooth = 0,
  compile = TRUE,
  details = 0,
  data = NULL,
  ...
)
# S3 method for dModel
grain(
  x,
  control = list(),
  smooth = 0,
  compile = TRUE,
  details = 0,
  data = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

An object of class "grain"

Arguments

x

An argument to build an independence network from. Typically a list of conditional probability tables, a DAG or an undirected graph. In the two latter cases, data must also be provided.

...

Additional arguments, currently not used.

control

A list defining controls, see 'details' below.

smooth

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

compile

Should network be compiled.

details

Debugging information.

data

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

Author

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.

Examples

## Asia (chest clinic) network created from conditional probability tables

yn   <- c("yes", "no")
a    <- cptable(~asia,              values=c(1,99), levels=yn)
t.a  <- cptable(~tub+asia,          values=c(5,95,1,99), levels=yn)
s    <- cptable(~smoke,             values=c(5,5), levels=yn)
l.s  <- cptable(~lung+smoke,        values=c(1,9,1,99), levels=yn)
b.s  <- cptable(~bronc+smoke,       values=c(6,4,3,7), levels=yn)
e.lt <- cptable(~either+lung+tub,   values=c(1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1), levels=yn)
x.e  <- cptable(~xray+either,       values=c(98,2,5,95), levels=yn)
d.be <- cptable(~dysp+bronc+either, values=c(9,1,7,3,8,2,1,9), levels=yn)
chest.cpt <- compileCPT(a, t.a, s, l.s, b.s, e.lt, x.e, d.be)
chest.bn  <- grain(chest.cpt)
