Suppose we want to build a CLG with these specifications A=N(5,1)A={\cal N}(5,1), B=N(4,3)B={\cal N}(4,3) and C=2.A+3.B+N(3,2)C=2.A+3.B+{\cal N}(3,2)

model = gclg.CLG()
model.add(gclg.GaussianVariable("A", 5, 1))
model.add(gclg.GaussianVariable("C", 3, 2))
model.add(gclg.GaussianVariable("B", 4, 3))
model.addArc("A", "C", 2)
model.addArc("B", "C", 3)

G A A μ=5.000 σ=1.000 C C μ=3.000 σ=2.000 A->C 2.00 B B μ=4.000 σ=3.000 B->C 3.00

We can create a Conditional Linear Gaussian Bayesian networ(CLG model) using a SEM-like syntax.

A = 4.5 [0.3] means that the mean of the distribution for Gaussian random variable A is 4.5 and ist standard deviation is 0.3.

B = 3 + 0.8F [0.3] means that the mean of the distribution for the Gaussian random variable B is 3 and the standard deviation is 0.3.

pyagrum.CLG.SEM is a set of static methods to manipulate this kind of SEM.

sem2 = """
A=4.5 [0.3] # comments are allowed
F=7 [0.5]
B=3 + 1.2F [0.3]
C=9 + 2A + 1.5B [0.6]
D=9 + C + F[0.7]
E=9 + D [0.9]
"""
model2 = gclg.SEM.toclg(sem2)
gnb.show(model2)

One can of course build the SEM from a CLG using pyagrum.CLG.SEM.tosem :

gnb.flow.row(
model,
"<pre><div align='left'>" + gclg.SEM.tosem(model) + "</div></pre>",
captions=["the first CLG model", "the SEM from the CLG"],
)
B=4[3] A=5[1] C=3+2A+3B[2]

the SEM from the CLG

And this SEM allows of course input/output format for CLG

gclg.SEM.saveCLG(model2, "out/model2.sem")
print("=== file content ===")

for line in file.readlines():

Approximated inference : MonteCarlo Sampling

Section titled “Approximated inference : MonteCarlo Sampling”

When the model is too complex for exact infernece, we can use forward sampling to generate 5000 samples from the original CLG model.

fs = gclg.ForwardSampling(model2)
fs.makeSample(5000).tocsv("./out/model2.csv")

We will use the generated database to do learning. But before, we can also compute posterior but without evidence :

ie = gclg.CLGVariableElimination(model2)
print("| 'Exact' inference | Results from sampling |")
print("|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|")
for i in model2.names():
print(f"| {str(ie.posterior(i)):40} | {str(gclg.GaussianVariable(i, fs.mean_sample(i), fs.stddev_sample(i))):40} |")
| 'Exact' inference | Results from sampling |
|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|

Now with the generated database and the original model, we can calculate the log-likelihood of the model.

print("log-likelihood w.r.t orignal model : ", model2.logLikelihood("./out/model2.csv"))
log-likelihood w.r.t orignal model : -22162.642750555708

Use the generated database to do our RAvel Learning. This part needs some time to run.

## RAveL learning
learner = gclg.CLGLearner("./out/model2.csv")

We can get the learned_clg model with function learn_clg() which contains structure learning and parameter estimation.

learned_clg = learner.learnCLG()
gnb.sideBySide(model2, learned_clg, captions=["original CLG", "learned CLG"])

Compare the learned model’s structure with that of the original model’.

cmp = gcm.GraphicalBNComparator(model2.asDiscreteBN(), learned_clg.asDiscreteBN())
print(f"F-score(original_clg,learned_clg) : {cmp.scores()['fscore']}")
F-score(original_clg,learned_clg) : 0.8

Get the learned model’s parameters and compare them with the original model’s parameters using the SEM syntax.

gnb.flow.row(
"<pre><div align='left'>" + gclg.SEM.tosem(model2) + "</div></pre>",
"<pre><div align='left'>" + gclg.SEM.tosem(learned_clg) + "</div></pre>",

We can algo do parameter estimation only with function fitParameters() if we already have the structure of the model.

## We can copy the original CLG
copy_original = gclg.CLG(model2)
## RAveL learning again
RAveL_l = gclg.CLGLearner("./out/model2.csv")
## Fit the parameters of the copy clg
RAveL_l.fitParameters(copy_original)
copy_original
G A A μ=4.490 σ=0.300 C C μ=9.101 σ=0.591 A->C 1.97 F F μ=6.997 σ=0.495 B B μ=2.927 σ=0.300 F->B 1.21 D D μ=9.500 σ=0.703 F->D 1.00 B->C 1.50 C->D 0.99 E E μ=9.242 σ=0.910 D->E 0.99

We first create two CLG from two SEMs.

## TWO DIFFERENT CLGs
## FIRST CLG
clg1 = gclg.SEM.toclg("""
## hyper parameters
A=4[1]
B=3[5]
C=-2[5]
#equations
D=A[.2] # D is a noisy version of A
E=1+D+2B [2]
F=E+C+B+E [0.001]
""")
## SECOND CLG
clg2 = gclg.SEM.toclg("""
## hyper parameters
A=4[1]
B=3+A[5]
C=-2+2B+A[5]
#equations
D=A[.2] # D is a noisy version of A
E=1+D+2B [2]
F=E+C [0.001]
""")

This cell shows how to have a quick view of the differences

gnb.flow.row(clg1, clg2, gcm.graphDiff(clg1, clg2), gcm.graphDiffLegend(), gcm.graphDiff(clg2, clg1))
G A A B B A->B C C A->C D D A->D B->C E E B->E F F B->F C->F D->E E->F
G a->b overflow c->d Missing e->f reversed g->h Correct
G A A B B A->B C C A->C D D A->D B->C E E B->E F F B->F C->F D->E E->F

We compare the CLG models.

## We use the F-score to compare the two CLGs
cmp = gcm.GraphicalBNComparator(clg1.asDiscreteBN(), clg1.asDiscreteBN())
print(f"F-score(clg1,clg1) : {cmp.scores()['fscore']}")
cmp = gcm.GraphicalBNComparator(clg1.asDiscreteBN(), clg2.asDiscreteBN())
print(f"F-score(clg1,clg2) : {cmp.scores()['fscore']}")
F-score(clg1,clg1) : 1.0
F-score(clg1,clg2) : 0.7142857142857143
## The complete list of structural scores is :
print("score(clg1,clg2) :")
for score, val in cmp.scores().items():
print(f" - {score} : {val}")
score(clg1,clg2) :

The module allows to investigale more deeply into the learning algorithm.

We first create a random CLG model with 5 variables.

## Create a new random CLG
clg = gclg.randomCLG(nb_variables=5, names="ABCDE")
## Display the CLG
print(clg)
A=4.991307182391992[1.6829615979936703]

We then do the Forward Sampling and CLGLearner.

n = 20 # n is the selected values of MC number n in n-MCERA
K = 10000 # K is the list of selected values of number of samples
Delta = 0.05 # Delta is the FWER we want to control
## Sample generation
fs = gclg.ForwardSampling(clg)
fs.makeSample(K).tocsv("./out/clg.csv")
## Learning
RAveL_l = gclg.CLGLearner("./out/clg.csv", n_sample=n, fwer_delta=Delta)

We use the PC algorithme to learn the structure of the model.

## Use the PC algorithm to get the skeleton
C = RAveL_l.PC_algorithm(order=clg.nodes(), verbose=False)
print("The final skeleton is:\n", C)
The final skeleton is:
{0: {1, 4}, 1: set(), 2: {0}, 3: set(), 4: {1, 3}}
## Create a Mixedgraph to display the skeleton
RAveL_MixGraph = gum.MixedGraph()
## Add variables
for i in range(len(clg.names())):
RAveL_MixGraph.addNodeWithId(i)
RAveL_MixGraph.setName(i, clg.variable(i).name())
## Add arcs and edges
for father, kids in C.items():
for kid in kids:
if father in C[kid]:
RAveL_MixGraph.addEdge(father, kid)
else:
RAveL_MixGraph.addArc(father, kid)
RAveL_MixGraph
no_name 0 (0) B 1 (1) D 0->1 4 (4) C 0->4 2 (2) A 2->0 3 (3) E 4->1 4->3
## Create a BN with the same structure as the CLG
bn = clg.asDiscreteBN()
## Compare the result above with the EssentialGraph
Real_EssentialGraph = gum.EssentialGraph(bn)
Real_EssentialGraph
no_name 0 B 1 D 0->1 2 A 0->2 4 C 0->4 1->4 3 E 2->3 4->3
## create a CLG from the skeleton of PC algorithm
clg_PC = gclg.CLG()
for node in clg.nodes():
clg_PC.add(clg.variable(node))
for father, kids in C.items():
for kid in kids:
clg_PC.addArc(father, kid)
## Compare the structure of the created CLG and the original CLG
print(f"F-score : {clg.structuralFScore(clg_PC)}")
F-score : 0.8000000000000002

We can also do the parameter learning.
