restrict_by_labels

internal

Users can declare binary causal models, update beliefs about causal types given data and calculate arbitrary estimands. Model definition makes use of 'dagitty' functionality. Updating is implemented in 'stan'. The approach used in 'CausalQueries' is a generalization of the 'biqq' models described in "Mixing Methods: A Bayesian Approach" (Humphreys and Jacobs, 2015, <DOI:10.1017/S0003055415000453>). The conceptual extension makes use of work on probabilistic causal models described in Pearl's Causality (Pearl, 2009, <DOI:10.1017/CBO9780511803161>).

restrict_by_labels function

<dl><dt>model</dt>
<dd>A <code>causal_model</code>. A model object generated by
<code>make_model</code>.</dd>
<dt>labels</dt>
<dd>A list of character vectors specifying nodal types to be
kept or removed from the model.</dd>
<dt>given</dt>
<dd>A character vector or list of character vectors specifying
nodes on which the parameter set to be restricted depends. When mixing
labels that are further restricted by <code>given</code> and ones that are not,
labels without <code>given</code> restrictions should have <code>given</code>
specified as one of <code>NULL</code>, <code>NA</code>, <code>""</code> or <code>" "</code>.</dd>
<dt>keep</dt>
<dd>Logical. If `FALSE`, removes and if `TRUE` keeps only causal
types specified by <code>restriction</code>.</dd></dl>
