Neighborhood Analysis

This kind of analysis allows you to visualize, for the selected nodes, the set of nodes that belong to them according to the mode chosen in the toolbar:

The nodes that do not belong to the selected node are made translucent and are no longer selectable. When you click on a visible node, the nodes that do not belong to it are made translucent. To make all nodes visible again, click on any location except a visible node.

It is possible to display, through the combo box:

• The Markov blanket
• The spouses
• The parents. It is possible to specify how far ancestors are displayed with the corresponding field.
• The children. It is possible to specify until which distance the descendants are displayed with the corresponding field.
• The neighbors. It is possible to specify until which distance the neighbors are displayed with the corresponding field.

The number of displayed nodes is indicated in the Status Bar of the Graph Window.

In the following example, the Markov blanket of the selected node is displayed, i.e., the unrelated nodes are made translucent:
