Description

Stepwise backward selection in decomposable graphical models

Usage

# S3 method for bwd
walk(x, df, q = 0.5, thres = 5)

Arguments

x

gengraph

df

data.frame

q

Penalty term in the stopping criterion (0 = AIC and 1 = BIC)

thres

A threshold mechanism for choosing between two different ways of calculating the entropy. Can Speed up the procedure with the "correct" value.

Value

A bwd object; a subclass of gengraph) used for backward selection.
