is_ag: Is the 'caugi' graph an AG?

In caugi: Causal Graph Interface

Is the caugi graph an AG?

Description

Checks if the given caugi graph is an Ancestral Graph (AG).

An AG contains directed (⁠-->⁠), bidirected (⁠<->⁠), and undirected (⁠---⁠) edges, and must satisfy ancestral graph constraints (no directed cycles, anterior constraint, and undirected constraint).

Usage

is_ag(cg, force_check = FALSE)

Arguments

cg	A caugi object.
force_check	Logical; if TRUE, the function will test if the graph is an AG, if FALSE (default), it will look at the graph class and match it, if possible.

Value

A logical value indicating whether the graph is an AG.

Examples

cg_ag <- caugi(
  A %-->% B,
  C %<->% D,
  E %---% F,
  class = "AG"
)
is_ag(cg_ag) # TRUE

cg_ug <- caugi(
  A %---% B,
  class = "UG"
)
is_ag(cg_ug) # TRUE (UGs are valid AGs)
