getConditionallyIndependentSets | R Documentation |
A conditionally independent set of nodes is such that the joint probability (density) of nodes in the set will not change even if any non-given node outside the set is changed. Default given nodes are data nodes and parameter nodes (aka "top-level" nodes, i.e. nodes with no parent nodes), but this can be controlled.

A vector of node names or their graph IDs that should be
considered as fixed (given) and hence can be conditioned on. If omitted,
the default will be all data nodes and all parameter nodes, the latter
defined as nodes with no stochastic parent nodes (skipping over
deterministic parent nodes). See |

A vector of node names or their graph IDs that should be omitted and should block further graph exploration. |

This function returns sets of conditionally independent nodes.
Multiple input nodes
might be in the same set or different sets.
The nodes
input and the returned sets include only stochastic nodes
because conditional independence is a property of random variables.
Deterministic nodes are considered in determining the sets. givenNodes
may contain stochastic or deterministic nodes.
List of nodes that are in conditionally independent sets. With each set, nodes are returned in topologically sorted order. The sets themselves are returned in topologically sorted order of their first nodes.
Other nodes (not in nodes
) may be included in the output if
unknownAsGiven=FALSE
.
