Neighborhood Analysis
Our team is currently rewriting this entire page. So, please consider this a work in progress and excuse any broken links and missing images.
This kind of analysis allows visualizing, for the selected nodes, what is the set of nodes that are belonging to it according to the mode chosen in the toolbar:
The nodes that are not belonging to the selected node are made translucent and are not selectable anymore. When we click on a visible node, the nodes that are not belonging to it are made translucent. In order to make the node visible again, you have just to click on any location except on a visible node.
It is possible to display, through the combo box :
- The Markov blanket
- The spouses
- The parents. It is possible to specify until which distance the ancestors are displayed with the corres- ponding 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's window.
In the following example, the Markov blanket of the selected node is displayed, i.e. the not concerned nodes are made translucent :
