In dagR: Directed Acyclic Graphs: Analysis and Data Simulation
find.paths R Documentation
Find potentially biasing paths in a DAG.
Description
This identifies paths linking exposure and outcome in a DAG.
Forward paths (including a directed arc emanating from the exposure) are not identified.
Usage
find.paths(dag)
Arguments
dag
A DAG for which paths should be found.
Value
A DAG with components pathsN (number of paths identified) and paths (matrix with each row describing one path by indicating the arcs forming the path; ends with NA as some other function recognize the end of the path that way) added.
