computeIMEC | R Documentation |
Computes IMEC based on previously specified explanatory relations.
computeIMEC( matrix, evidence, phenomena, theory1, theory2 = character(), analytic = TRUE, analogy = numeric() )
matrix |
matrix of explanatory relations. |
evidence |
vector of evidence for phenomena. |
phenomena |
vector of phenomena should be the same length as evidence. |
theory1 |
vector of propositions in theory1. |
theory2 |
vector of propositions in theory2. |
analytic |
whether the result should be calculated analytically or (for large networks) estimated using Metropolis-Hastings algorithm enhanced with Coupling from the past. |
analogy |
this argument is only for purposes of adding analogy in the future and should currently not be used. |
returns an IMEC object which contains the explanatory coherence of the propositions, the explanatory relations, the evidence, and the phenomena
