| Executing order | File name | Description of functionality |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 01_empircal_analysis.R |
Contains the code to perform the empirical analysis (Section 5 of the paper). The stpes are as follows: 1. Load the data from the data folder. 2. Apply the algorithms to the data. 3. Plot a statistical network model (Gaussian graphical model) and PAGs. |
| 2 | 02_stability_analysis.R |
Contains the code to perform the stability analysis on empirical data (Appendix I of the paper) using the following steps: 1. Generate 1000 data subsets. 2. Apply the algorithms to each subset. 3. Calculate the frequency of the estimated edge-endpoints. 4. Generate PAGs containing edge-endpoints that are consistently predicted (more than 70% of the time). |
Note. Each script header contains a more detailed description of the step-by-step procedure.
