mczf: The Monte Carlo permutation test for Gaussian conditional independence test

Description

The Monte Carlo permutation test for Gaussian conditional independence test. See the mc-zf function in the bnlearn package for more details.

Usage

mczf(x, y, S, suffStat)

Arguments

x,y,S

It is tested, whether x and y are conditionally independent given the subset S of the remaining nodes. x, y, S all are integers, corresponding to variable or node numbers.

suffStat

The dataset in matrix format with rows are samples and columns are variables.

Value

the p-value of the test.
