smczf: The sequential Monte Carlo permutation test for Gaussian conditional independence test.

Description

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

Usage

smczf(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 data matrix with rows are samples and columns are variables.

Value

The p-value of the test.
