AG: Ancestral graph

Description

AG generates and plots ancestral graphs after marginalization and conditioning.

Usage

AG(amat,M=c(),C=c(),showmat=TRUE,plot=FALSE, plotfun = plotGraph, …)

Arguments

amat

An adjacency matrix, or a graph that can be of class graphNEL-class 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, node1label, node2label). The type of edge can be "a" (arrows from node1 to node2), "b" (arcs), and "l" (lines).

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 is the adjacency matrix of the generated graph. It consists of 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.
