equSA (version 1.2.1)

equSAR: An equvalent mearsure of partial correlation coeffients

Description

Infer networks from Gaussian data by \(\psi\)-learning algorithm.

Usage

equSAR(iData,iMaxNei,ALPHA1=0.05,ALPHA2=0.05,GRID=2,iteration=100)

Arguments

iData

a \(n\)x\(p\) data matrix.

iMaxNei

Neiborhood size in correlation screening step, default to \(n/log(n)\), where \(n\) is the number of observation.

ALPHA1

The significance level of correlation screening. In general, a high significance level of correlation screening will lead to a slightly large separator set \(S_{ij}\), which reduces the risk of missing some important variables in the conditioning set. Including a few false variables in the conditioning set will not hurt much the accuracy of the \(\psi\)-partial correlation coefficient.

ALPHA2

The significance level of \(\psi\) screening.

GRID

The number of components for the \(\psi\) scores. The default value is 2.

iteration

Number of iterations for screening. The default value is 100.

Value

A list of two elements:

Adj

\(p\)x\(p\) adjacency matrix of the generated graph.

score

Estimated \(\psi\) score matrix which has 3 columns. The first two columns denote the pair indices of variables \(i\) and \(j\) and the last column denote the calculated \(\psi\) scores for this pair.

%% ...

Details

This is the main function of the package that fit the Gaussian Graphical Models and obtain the \(\psi\) scores and adjacency matrix.
