get_MPMdag | R Documentation |
This function computes the Median Probability DAG Model estimate (MPM) from the MCMC output of learn_DAG
get_MPMdag(learnDAG_output)
learnDAG_output |
object of class |
Output of learn_dag
function consists of S
draws from the joint posterior of DAGs and DAG-parameters in a zero-mean Gaussian DAG-model;
see the documentation of learn_DAG
for more details.
The Median Probability DAG Model estimate (MPM) is obtained by including all edges whose posterior probability exceeds 0.5.
The posterior probability of inclusion of u -> v
is estimated as the frequency of DAGs visited by the MCMC which contain the directed edge u -> v
;
see also function get_edgeprobs
and the corresponding documentation.

adjacency matrix of the median probability DAG model
