gera.pa {bnpa}

Generates a PA model

Description

This function receives a BN structure learned, the data set and some parameters and build a PA input model string. Then run the PA model using Structural Equation Model functions and export a PA graph and a PA model summary information.

Usage

gera.pa(bn.structure, data.to.work, pa.name, pa.imgname, bn.algorithm,
  bn.score.test, outcome.var)

Arguments

bn.structure

is a BN structure learned from data.

data.to.work

is a data frame containing the variables of the BN.

pa.name

is a variable to store the name of file to save PA parameters.

pa.imgname

is a variable to store the name of file to save PA graph.

bn.algorithm

is a list of algorithms to learn the BN structure.

bn.score.test

is a list of tests to be used during BN structure learning.

outcome.var

is the outcome variable.
