RG: Ribbonless graph

Description

RG generates and plots ribbonless graphs (a modification of MC graph to use m-separation) after marginalization and conditioning.

Usage

RG(amat,M=c(),C=c(),showmat=TRUE,plot=FALSE, plotfun = plotGraph, ...)

Arguments

amat

An adjacency matrix, or a graph that can be a graphNEL or an igraph object or a vector of length $3e$, where $e$ is the number of edges of the graph, that is a sequence of triples (type, node1

M

A subset of the node set of a that is going to be marginalized over

C

Another disjoint subset of the node set of a that is going to be conditioned on.

showmat

A logical value. TRUE (by default) to print the generated matrix.

plot

A logical value, FALSE (by default). TRUE to plot the generated graph.

plotfun

Function to plot the graph when plot == TRUE. Can be plotGraph (the default) or drawGraph.

...

Further arguments passed to plotfun.

Value

• A matrix that consists 4 different integers as an $ij$-element: 0 for a missing edge between $i$ and $j$, 1 for an arrow from $i$ to $j$, 10 for a full line between $i$ and $j$, and 100 for a bi-directed arrow between $i$ and $j$. These numbers are added to be associated with multiple edges of different types. The matrix is symmetric w.r.t full lines and bi-directed arrows.
