In caugi: Causal Graph Interface

Get all backdoor sets up to a certain size.

Description

This function returns the backdoor sets up to size max_size, which per default is set to 10.

Usage

all_backdoor_sets(
  cg,
  X = NULL,
  Y = NULL,
  X_index = NULL,
  Y_index = NULL,
  minimal = TRUE,
  max_size = 3L
)

Arguments

cg	A caugi.
X, Y	Single node name.
X_index, Y_index	Optional 1-based indices (exclusive with name args).
minimal	Logical; if TRUE (default), only minimal sets are returned.
max_size	Integer; maximum size of sets to consider (default 3).

Value

A list of character vectors, each an adjustment set (possibly empty).
