LongitudinalBootstrapResult

class lingam.LongitudinalBootstrapResult(n_timepoints, adjacency_matrices, total_effects)[source]

The result of bootstrapping for LongitudinalLiNGAM.

__init__(n_timepoints, adjacency_matrices, total_effects)[source]

Construct a BootstrapResult.

Parameters:
  • adjacency_matrices (array-like, shape (n_sampling)) – The adjacency matrix list by bootstrapping.

  • total_effects (array-like, shape (n_sampling)) – The total effects list by bootstrapping.

property adjacency_matrices_

The adjacency matrix list by bootstrapping.

Returns:

adjacency_matrices_ – The adjacency matrix list, where n_sampling is the number of bootstrap sampling.

Return type:

array-like, shape (n_sampling)

get_causal_direction_counts(n_directions=None, min_causal_effect=None, split_by_causal_effect_sign=False)[source]

Get causal direction count as a result of bootstrapping.

Parameters:
  • n_directions (int, optional (default=None)) – If int, then The top n_directions items are included in the result

  • min_causal_effect (float, optional (default=None)) – Threshold for detecting causal direction. If float, then causal directions with absolute values of causal effects less than min_causal_effect are excluded.

  • split_by_causal_effect_sign (boolean, optional (default=False)) – If True, then causal directions are split depending on the sign of the causal effect.

Returns:

causal_direction_counts – List of causal directions sorted by count in descending order. The dictionary has the following format:

{'from': [n_directions], 'to': [n_directions], 'count': [n_directions]}

where n_directions is the number of causal directions.

Return type:

dict

get_directed_acyclic_graph_counts(n_dags=None, min_causal_effect=None, split_by_causal_effect_sign=False)[source]

Get DAGs count as a result of bootstrapping.

Parameters:
  • n_dags (int, optional (default=None)) – If int, then The top n_dags items are included in the result

  • min_causal_effect (float, optional (default=None)) – Threshold for detecting causal direction. If float, then causal directions with absolute values of causal effects less than min_causal_effect are excluded.

  • split_by_causal_effect_sign (boolean, optional (default=False)) – If True, then causal directions are split depending on the sign of the causal effect.

Returns:

directed_acyclic_graph_counts – List of directed acyclic graphs sorted by count in descending order. The dictionary has the following format:

{'dag': [n_dags], 'count': [n_dags]}.

where n_dags is the number of directed acyclic graphs.

Return type:

dict

get_paths(from_index, to_index, from_t, to_t, min_causal_effect=None)[source]

Get all paths from the start variable to the end variable and their bootstrap probabilities.

Parameters:
  • from_index (int) – Index of the variable at the start of the path.

  • to_index (int) – Index of the variable at the end of the path.

  • from_t (int) – The starting timepoint of the path.

  • to_t (int) – The end timepoint of the path.

  • min_causal_effect (float, optional (default=None)) – Threshold for detecting causal direction. Causal directions with absolute values of causal effects less than min_causal_effect are excluded.

Returns:

paths – List of path and bootstrap probability. The dictionary has the following format:

{'path': [n_paths], 'effect': [n_paths], 'probability': [n_paths]}

where n_paths is the number of paths.

Return type:

dict

get_probabilities(min_causal_effect=None)[source]

Get bootstrap probability.

Parameters:

min_causal_effect (float, optional (default=None)) – Threshold for detecting causal direction. If float, then causal directions with absolute values of causal effects less than min_causal_effect are excluded.

Returns:

probabilities – List of bootstrap probability matrix.

Return type:

array-like

get_total_causal_effects(min_causal_effect=None)[source]

Returns:

total_causal_effects – List of bootstrap total causal effect sorted by probability in descending order. The dictionary has the following format:

{'from': [n_directions], 'to': [n_directions], 'effect': [n_directions], 'probability': [n_directions]}

where n_directions is the number of causal directions.

Return type:

dict

property total_effects_

The total effect list by bootstrapping.

Returns:

total_effects_ – The total effect list, where n_sampling is the number of bootstrap sampling.

Return type:

array-like, shape (n_sampling)
