BDgraph (version 2.60)

BDgraph-package: Bayesian Structure Learning in Graphical Models

Description

The R package BDgraph provides statistical tools for Bayesian structure learning in undirected graphical models for continuous, discrete, and mixed data. The package is implemented the recent improvements in the Bayesian graphical models literature, including Mohammadi and Wit (2015), Mohammadi et al. (2017), Dobra and Mohammadi (2018), and Letac et al. (2018). The computationally intensive tasks of the package are implemented in parallel using OpenMP in C++ and interfaced with R, to speed up the computations. Besides, the package contains several functions for simulation and visualization, as well as several multivariate datasets taken from the literature.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
library( BDgraph )

# Generating multivariate normal data from a 'random' graph
data.sim <- bdgraph.sim( n = 70, p = 6, size = 7, vis = TRUE )

# Running algorithm based on GGMs
bdgraph.obj <- bdgraph( data = data.sim, iter = 5000 )

summary( bdgraph.obj )

# To compare the result with true graph
compare( data.sim, bdgraph.obj, main = c( "Target", "BDgraph" ), vis = TRUE )

# Running algorithm based on GGMs and marginal pseudo-likelihood
bdgraph.obj_mpl <- bdgraph.mpl( data = data.sim, iter = 5000 )

summary( bdgraph.obj_mpl )

# To compare the results of both algorithms with true graph
