f1_score: F1 score

In causalDisco: Tools for Causal Discovery on Observational Data

F1 score

Description

Computes F1 score from two caugi::caugi objects. It converts the caugi::caugi objects to adjacency matrices and computes F1 score as 2 \cdot TP/(2 \cdot TP + FP + FN), where TP are true positives, FP are false positives, and FN are false negatives. If TP + FP + FN = 0, 1 is returned.

Only supports caugi::caugi objects whose edges are restricted to ⁠-->⁠, ⁠<->⁠, ⁠---⁠, or absence of an edge.

Usage

f1_score(truth, est, type = c("adj", "dir"))

Arguments

truth	A caugi::caugi object representing the truth graph.
est	A caugi::caugi object representing the estimated graph.
type	Character string specifying the comparison type: "adj": adjacency comparison. "dir": orientation comparison conditional on shared adjacencies.

Value

A numeric in [0,1].

Examples

cg1 <- caugi::caugi(A %-->% B + C)
cg2 <- caugi::caugi(B %-->% A + C)
f1_score(cg1, cg2, type = "adj")
f1_score(cg1, cg2, type = "dir")
