In emjun/tisaner: Authoring Statistical Models from Conceptual Models

Internal API

updateGraph(conceptualModel): Updates causal graph based on relationships specified in the conceptualModel (and stored in conceptualModel$relationships). - causes relationships are stored as unidirectional edges. - relates relationships are stored as bidirectional edges. (Can be disambiguated.) - whenThen relationships are stored as bidirectionl edges. (Can be disambiguated.)

Query: Infer a statistical model from a conceptual model

Steps involved in answering query: 1. checkConceptualModel to detect any issues right away prior to disambiguation 2. processQuery to disambiguate how to treat the DV and resolve any ambiguity in the conceptual model before inferring a statistical model. Disambiguation is complete once all ambiguities are resolved and the conceptual model is validated (checkConceptualModel). Disambiguation occurs in a GUI. 3. updateDV and updateConceptualModel based on inputs during disambiguation. 4. Use disambiguated DV and conceputal model to derive candidate statistical models: inferConfounders, inferFamilyLinkFunctions 5. deriveStatisticalModel to disambiguate modeling choices. Disambiguation occurs in a GUI. See details about statistical model inference details and scope.
