test-edges: Test edges in graphical models with p-value/AIC value

Description

Test edges in graphical models with p-value/AIC value. The models must be iModels.

Usage

testEdges(
  object,
  edgeMAT = NULL,
  ingraph = TRUE,
  criterion = "aic",
  k = 2,
  alpha = NULL,
  headlong = FALSE,
  details = 1,
  ...
)
testInEdges(
  object,
  edgeMAT = NULL,
  criterion = "aic",
  k = 2,
  alpha = NULL,
  headlong = FALSE,
  details = 1,
  ...
)
testOutEdges(
  object,
  edgeMAT = NULL,
  criterion = "aic",
  k = 2,
  alpha = NULL,
  headlong = FALSE,
  details = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

object

An iModel model object

edgeMAT

A p * 2 matrix with edges

ingraph

If TRUE, edges in graph are tested; if FALSE, edges not in graph are tested.

criterion

Either "aic" or "test" (for significance test)

k

Penalty term when criterion="aic". Only k=2 gives genuine AIC.

alpha

Critical value for deeming an edge to be significant/ insignificant. When criterion="aic", alpha defaults to 0; when criterion="test", alpha defaults to 0.05.

headlong

If TRUE then testing will stop once a model improvement has been found.

details

Controls the level of printing on the screen.

…

Further arguments to be passed on to testdelete (for testInEdges) and testadd (for testOutEdges).

Value

A matrix.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(math)
cm1 <- cmod(~me:ve + ve:al + al:an, data=math)
testEdges(cm1, ingraph=TRUE)
testEdges(cm1, ingraph=FALSE)
## Same as
# testInEdges(cm1)
# testOutEdges(cm) 
# }
