enumerate.models: Exhaustive enumeration of models

View source: R/enumerate.models.R

Description

The function enumerate.models is used to create the model space for inference by exhaustive enumeration. It computes a list of all transitively closed directed graphs on a given number of nodes.

Usage

1
enumerate.models(x,name=NULL,trans.close=TRUE,verbose=TRUE) 

Arguments

x

either the number of nodes or a vector of node names.

name

optionally the nodenames, if they are not provided in x

trans.close

should graphs be transitively closed?

verbose

if TRUE outputs number of (unique) models. Default: TRUE

Details

The model space of Nested Effects Models consists of all transitively closed directed graphs. The function enumerate.models creates them in three steps: (1.) build all directed graphs on x (or length(x)) nodes, (2.) transitively close each one of them, and (3.) remove redundant models to yield a unique set. So far, enumeration is limited to up to 5 nodes.

I'm aware that this is inefficient! It would be very desirable to enumerate the models directly (i.e. without creating all directed graphs as an intermediate step).

Value

a list of models. Each entry is a transitively closed adjacency matrix with unit main diagonal.
