make_runner: Create a Custom Runner for a Causal Discovery Algorithm

In causalDisco: Tools for Causal Discovery on Observational Data

Create a Custom Runner for a Causal Discovery Algorithm

Description

Constructs a runner function for a specific causal discovery engine and algorithm. This allows users to support new algorithms.

Usage

make_runner(
  engine,
  alg,
  test = NULL,
  alpha = NULL,
  score = NULL,
  ...,
  directed_as_undirected_knowledge = FALSE
)

Arguments

engine	Character. The engine to use. Options include "causalDisco", "pcalg", "bnlearn", "tetrad".
alg	Character. The algorithm name.
test	Optional. A test statistic to pass to the engine.
alpha	Optional. Significance level to pass to the engine.
score	Optional. A scoring function for score-based methods.
...	Additional arguments passed to the engine-specific runner.
directed_as_undirected_knowledge	Logical. Used internally for pcalg.

Value

An object representing a configured runner for the chosen engine. The type depends on the engine.
