In ess: Efficient Stepwise Selection in Decomposable Models

Stepwise efficient forward selection in decomposable graphical models

Description

Stepwise efficient forward selection in decomposable graphical models

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fwd'
walk(x, df, q = 0.5, thres = 5)

Arguments

x	A fwd object
df	data.frame
q	Penalty term in the stopping criterion (0 = AIC and 1 = BIC)
thres	A threshold mechanism for choosing between two different ways of calculating the entropy. Can Speed up the procedure with the "correct" value.

Details

A fwd object can be created using the gengraph constructor with type = "fwd"

Value

A fwd object; a subclass of gengraph) used for forward selection.
