CreateCCG: create a Computational Causal Graph (CCG)

In CausalR: Causal network analysis methods

Description

Creates a computational causal graph from a network file.

Usage

CreateCCG(filename, nodeInclusionFile = NULL, excludeNodesInFile = TRUE)

Arguments

filename	file name of the network file (in .sif file format)
nodeInclusionFile	optional path to a text file listing nodes to exclude in the CCG (or include - see argument excludeNodesInFile).
excludeNodesInFile	flag to determine if nodes in inclusion file should be taken as nodes to include or nodes to exclude. Default is TRUE to exclude.

Value

an igraph object containing the CCG.

Note

CreateCG and CreateCCG create causal and computational causal graphs respectively.
