ParDAG-class: Class "ParDAG"
Description
This virtual base class represents a parametric causal model.Extends
All reference classes extend and inherit methods from "envRefClass"
.Details
The class "ParDAG"
serves as a basis for simulating observational
and/or interventional data from causal models as well as for parameter
estimation (maximum-likelihood estimation) for a given causal model in the
presence of a data set with jointly observational and interventional data.
The virtual base class "ParDAG"
provides a "skeleton" for all
functions relied to the aforementioned task. In practical cases, a user may
always choose an appropriate class derived from ParDAG
which
represents a specific parametric model class. The base class itself does
not represent such a model class.
