Find Open Paths Between Variables

Description

dag_paths finds open paths between a given exposure and outcome. ggdag_paths and ggdag_paths_fan plot all open paths. See dagitty::paths() for details.

Usage

dag_paths(
  .dag,
  from = NULL,
  to = NULL,
  adjust_for = NULL,
  limit = 100,
  directed = FALSE,
  paths_only = FALSE,
  ...
)

ggdag_paths(
  .tdy_dag,
  from = NULL,
  to = NULL,
  adjust_for = NULL,
  limit = 100,
  directed = FALSE,
  shadow = FALSE,
  ...,
  node_size = 16,
  text_size = 3.88,
  label_size = text_size,
  text_col = "white",
  label_col = text_col,
  node = TRUE,
  stylized = FALSE,
  text = TRUE,
  use_labels = NULL
)

ggdag_paths_fan(
  .tdy_dag,
  from = NULL,
  to = NULL,
  adjust_for = NULL,
  limit = 100,
  directed = FALSE,
  ...,
  shadow = FALSE,
  spread = 0.7,
  node_size = 16,
  text_size = 3.88,
  label_size = text_size,
  text_col = "white",
  label_col = text_col,
  node = TRUE,
  stylized = FALSE,
  text = TRUE,
  use_labels = NULL
)

Arguments

.dag, .tdy_dag	input graph, an object of class tidy_dagitty or dagitty
from	character vector of length 1, name of exposure variable. Default is NULL, in which case it will check the input DAG for exposure.
to	character vector of length 1, name of exposure variable. Default is NULL, in which case it will check the input DAG for exposure.
adjust_for	character vector, a set of variables to control for. Default is NULL.
limit	maximum amount of paths to show. In general, the number of paths grows exponentially with the number of variables in the graph, such that path inspection is not useful except for the most simple models.
directed	logical. Should only directed paths be shown?
paths_only	logical. Should only open paths be returned? Default is FALSE, which includes every variable and edge in the DAG regardless if they are part of the path.
...	additional arguments passed to tidy_dagitty()
shadow	logical. Show edges which are not on an open path? Ignored if paths_only is TRUE.
node_size	size of DAG node
text_size	size of DAG text
label_size	size of label text
text_col	color of DAG text
label_col	label color
node	logical. Should nodes be included in the DAG?
stylized	logical. Should DAG nodes be stylized? If so, use geom_dag_nodes and if not use geom_dag_point
text	logical. Should text be included in the DAG?
use_labels	a string. Variable to use for geom_dag_repel_label(). Default is NULL.
spread	the width of the fan spread

Value

a tidy_dagitty with a path column for path variables and a set grouping column or a ggplot.

Examples

confounder_triangle(x_y_associated = TRUE) %>%
  dag_paths(from = "x", to = "y")

confounder_triangle(x_y_associated = TRUE) %>%
  ggdag_paths(from = "x", to = "y")

butterfly_bias(x_y_associated = TRUE) %>%
  ggdag_paths_fan(shadow = TRUE)
