Syntax

public static class BackdoorGraph

Remarks

The proper back-door graph, is obtained from G by removing the first edge of every proper causal path from X to Y.

Methods

Convert(Network, IEvidence, IDistribution, BackdoorGraphOptions)

Constructs the Backdoor graph or the proper Backdoor graph from a Bayesian network, one of more treatments (X) and one or more outcomes (Y).

Declaration

public static void Convert(Network network, IEvidence evidence, IDistribution query, BackdoorGraphOptions options)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Network	network	The Bayesian network, which will be edited in-place.
IEvidence	evidence	Evidence which contains one or more interventions (treatments X), and optionally other standard (non-intervention) evidence.
IDistribution	query	One or more outcomes (Y).
BackdoorGraphOptions	options	Options for the conversion.

Convert(Network, IList<CausalNode>, IList<CausalNode>, BackdoorGraphOptions)

Constructs the Backdoor graph or the proper Backdoor graph from a Bayesian network, one of more treatments (X) and one or more outcomes (Y).

Declaration

public static void Convert(Network network, IList<CausalNode> treatments, IList<CausalNode> outcomes, BackdoorGraphOptions options)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Network	network	The Bayesian network, which will be edited in place.
IList<CausalNode>	treatments	One or more nodes with interventions (do) evidence set.
IList<CausalNode>	outcomes	One or more outcomes (Y).
BackdoorGraphOptions	options	Options for the conversion.
