bn.strength class {bnlearn} | R Documentation

## The bn.strength class structure

### Description

The structure of an object of S3 class `bn.strength`.

### Details

An object of class `bn.strength` is a data frame with the following columns (one row for each arc):

- `from, to`: the nodes incident on the arc.

- `strength`: the strength of the arc. See `arc.strength`, `boot.strength`, `custom.strength` and `strength.plot` for details.

and some additional attributes:

- `nodes`: a vector of character strings, the labels of the nodes of the network(s) the strength were computed from.

- `method`: a character string, the method used to compute the strength coefficients. It can be equal to `test`, `score` or `bootstrap`.

- `threshold`: a numeric value, the threshold used to determine if a strength coefficient is significant.

An optional column called `direction` may also be present, giving the probability of the direction of an arc given its presence in the graph.

Only the `plot()` method is defined for this class; therefore, it can be manipulated as a standard data frame.
