Occurring cliques in association graphs represent connected
components of dependent variables, and by comparing the graphs for
different thresholds, specific structural models of multivariate
dependence can be suggested and tested. The function
div_gof()
allows such hypothesis tests for pairwise
independence of \(X\) and \(Y\): \(X \bot
Y\), and pairwise independence conditional a third variable \(Z\): \(X\bot
Y|Z\).
For the running example using
## status gender office years age practice lawschool cowork advice friend
## 1 3 3 0 8 8 1 0 0 3 2
## 2 3 3 3 5 8 3 0 0 0 0
## 3 3 3 3 5 8 2 0 0 1 0
## 4 3 3 0 8 8 1 6 0 1 2
## 5 3 3 0 8 8 0 6 0 1 1
## 6 3 3 1 7 8 1 6 0 1 1
To test friend
\(\bot\)
cowork
\(|\)advice
, that is whether
dyad variable friend
is independent of cowork
given advice
we use the function as shown below:
## the specified model of conditional independence cannot be rejected
## D df(D)
## 1 0.94 12
Not specifying argument var_cond
would instead test
friend
\(\bot\)cowork
without any
conditioning.
