BDgraph (version 2.73)

compare: Graph structure comparison

Description

This function provides several measures to assess the performance of the graphical structure learning.

Usage

compare( pred, actual, main = NULL, vis = FALSE )

Value

True positive

number of correctly estimated links.

True negative

number of true non-existing links which is correctly estimated.

False positive

number of links which they are not in the true graph, but are incorrectly estimated.

False negative

number of links which they are in the true graph, but are not estimated.

F1-score

weighted average of the "positive predictive" and "true positive rate". The F1-score value reaches its best value at 1 and worst score at 0.

Specificity

Specificity value reaches its best value at 1 and worst score at 0.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity value reaches its best value at 1 and worst score at 0.

MCC

Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCC) value reaches its best value at 1 and worst score at 0.

Arguments

pred

adjacency matrix corresponding to an estimated graph. It can be an object with S3 class "bdgraph" from function bdgraph. It can be an object of S3 class "ssgraph", from the function ssgraph::ssgraph() of R package ssgraph::ssgraph(). It can be an object of S3 class "select", from the function huge.select of R package huge. It also can be a list of above objects for comparing two or more different approaches.

actual

adjacency matrix corresponding to the true graph structure in which \(a_{ij}=1\) if there is a link between notes \(i\) and \(j\), otherwise \(a_{ij}=0\). It can be an object with S3 class "sim" from function bdgraph.sim. It can be an object with S3 class "graph" from function graph.sim.

main

character vector giving the names for the result table.

vis

logical: if TRUE, visualize the true graph and estimated graph structures.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Generating multivariate normal data from a 'random' graph
data.sim <- bdgraph.sim( n = 50, p = 6, size = 7, vis = TRUE )
    
# Running sampling algorithm based on GGMs 
sample.ggm <- bdgraph( data = data.sim, method = "ggm", iter = 10000 )
   
# Comparing the results
compare( sample.ggm, data.sim, main = c( "True", "GGM" ), vis = TRUE )
      
# Running sampling algorithm based on GCGMs
sample.gcgm <- bdgraph( data = data.sim, method = "gcgm", iter = 10000 )

# Comparing GGM and GCGM methods
compare( list( sample.ggm, sample.gcgm ), data.sim, 
         main = c( "True", "GGM", "GCGM" ), vis = TRUE )
