pcAlgo-class: Class "pcAlgo"

Description

This class of objects is returned by the functions skeleton and pc to represent the (skeleton) of an estimated CPDAG. Objects of this class have methods for the functions plot, show and summary.

Creation of objects

Objects are typically created as result from skeleton() or pc(), but could be be created by calls of the form new("pcAlgo", ...).

Extends

Class "gAlgo".

Examples

showClass("pcAlgo")

## generate a pcAlgo object
p <- 8
set.seed(45)
myDAG <- randomDAG(p, prob = 0.3)
n <- 10000
d.mat <- rmvDAG(n, myDAG, errDist = "normal")
suffStat <- list(C = cor(d.mat), n = n)
pc.fit <- pc(suffStat, indepTest = gaussCItest, alpha = 0.01, p = p)

## use methods of class pcAlgo
show(pc.fit)
if(require(Rgraphviz))
  plot(pc.fit)
summary(pc.fit)

## access slots of this object
(g  <- pc.fit@graph)
str(ss <- pc.fit@sepset, max=1)
