R: Bayes factor between two graphs

bf {BDgraph} | R Documentation

## Bayes factor between two graphs

### Description

Compute the Bayes factor between the structure of two graphs.

### Usage

        bf( num, den, bdgraph.obj, log = TRUE )

### Arguments

`num, den` | An adjacency matrix corresponding to the true graph structure in which a_{ij}=1 if there is a link between notes i and j, otherwise a_{ij}=0. It can be an object with `S3` class `"graph"` from function `graph.sim`. It can be an object with `S3` class `"sim"` from function `bdgraph.sim`.
`bdgraph.obj` | An object of `S3` class `"bdgraph"`, from function `bdgraph`. It also can be an object of `S3` class `"ssgraph"`, from the function `ssgraph` of `R` package `ssgraph`.
`log` | A character value. If TRUE the Bayes factor is given as log(BF).

### Value

A single numeric value, the Bayes factor of the two graph structures `num` and `den`.

        ## Not run:
            # Generating multivariate normal data from a 'circle' graph
            data.sim <- bdgraph.sim( n = 50, p = 6, graph = "circle", vis = TRUE )

            # Running sampling algorithm
            bdgraph.obj <- bdgraph( data = data.sim )

            graph_1 <- graph.sim( p = 6, vis = TRUE )
            graph_2 <- graph.sim( p = 6, vis = TRUE )

            bf( num = graph_1, den = graph_2, bdgraph.obj = bdgraph.obj )
