Is a set a valid adjustment set in an ADMG?

Description

Checks whether Z is a valid adjustment set for estimating the causal effect of X on Y in an ADMG using the generalized adjustment criterion.

Usage

is_valid_adjustment_admg(
  cg,
  X = NULL,
  Y = NULL,
  Z = NULL,
  X_index = NULL,
  Y_index = NULL,
  Z_index = NULL
)

Arguments

cg	A caugi object of class ADMG.
X, Y	Node names (can be vectors for multiple treatments/outcomes).
Z	Conditioning set (character vector of node names).
X_index, Y_index, Z_index	Optional 1-based indices.

Value

Logical value indicating if the adjustment set is valid.

Examples

# Classic confounding
cg <- caugi(
  L %-->% X,
  X %-->% Y,
  L %-->% Y,
  class = "ADMG"
)

is_valid_adjustment_admg(cg, X = "X", Y = "Y", Z = NULL) # FALSE
is_valid_adjustment_admg(cg, X = "X", Y = "Y", Z = "L") # TRUE
