The `R` package **BDgraph** provides statistical tools for Bayesian structure learning for undirected graphical models with *continuous*, *count*, *binary*, and *mixed data*. The package is implemented the recent improvements in the Bayesian graphical models' literature, including [Mohammadi and Wit (2015)](https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.ba/1422468425), [Mohammadi et al. (2023)](https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2021.1996377), [Mohammadi et al. (2017)](https://doi.org/10.1111/rssc.12171), [Dobra and Mohammadi (2018)](https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.aoas/1532743478), [Mohammadi et al. (2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.00127), and [Vinciotti et al. (2022)](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2203.10118). Besides, the package contains several functions for simulation and visualization, as well as several multivariate datasets taken from the literature.
Install **BDgraph** using
```{r eval = FALSE}
install.packages( "BDgraph" )
```
First, we load **BDgraph** package
```{r loadpkg, message = FALSE, warning = FALSE}
library( BDgraph )
```
Here are two simple examples to show how to use the functionality of the package.
# Example 1: Gaussian Graphical Models
Here is a simple example to see the performance of the package for the Gaussian graphical models. First, by using the function `bdgraph.sim()`, we simulate 200 observations (n = 200) from a multivariate Gaussian distribution with 15 variables (p = 15) and "scale-free" graph structure, as follows
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
set.seed( 20 )
data.sim = bdgraph.sim( n = 200, p = 15, graph = "scale-free", vis = TRUE )
```
Since the generated data are Gaussian, we run the `bdgraph()` function by choosing `method = "ggm"`, as follows
```{r}
bdgraph.obj = bdgraph( data = data.sim, method = "ggm", iter = 5000, verbose = FALSE )
```
To report confusion matrix with cutoff point 0.5:
```{r fig.align = 'center', fig.width = 3, fig.height = 3}
conf.mat( actual = data.sim, pred = bdgraph.obj, cutoff = 0.5 )
conf.mat.plot( actual = data.sim, pred = bdgraph.obj, cutoff = 0.5 )
```
To compare the result with the true graph
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
compare( data.sim, bdgraph.obj, main = c( "Target", "BDgraph" ), vis = TRUE )
```
Now, as an alternative, we run the `bdgraph.mpl()` function which is based on the GGMs and marginal pseudo-likelihood, as follows
```{r fig.align = 'center', fig.width = 3, fig.height = 3}
bdgraph.mpl.obj = bdgraph.mpl( data = data.sim, method = "ggm", iter = 5000, verbose = FALSE )
conf.mat( actual = data.sim, pred = bdgraph.mpl.obj )
conf.mat.plot( actual = data.sim, pred = bdgraph.mpl.obj )
```
We could compare the results of both algorithms with the true graph as follows
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
compare( list( bdgraph.obj, bdgraph.mpl.obj ), data.sim,
main = c( "Target", "BDgraph", "BDgraph.mpl" ), vis = TRUE )
```
To see the performance of the BDMCMC algorithm we could plot the ROC curve as follows
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
plotroc( list( bdgraph.obj, bdgraph.mpl.obj ), data.sim, cut = 200,
labels = c( "BDgraph", "BDgraph.mpl" ), color = c( "blue", "red" ) )
```
# Example 2: Gaussian Copula Graphical Models
Here is a simple example to see the performance of the package for the mixed data using Gaussian copula graphical models. First, by using the function `bdgraph.sim()`, we simulate 300 observations (n = 300) from mixed data (`type = "mixed"`) with 10 variables (p = 10) and "random" graph structure, as follows
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
set.seed( 2 )
data.sim = bdgraph.sim( n = 300, p = 10, type = "mixed", graph = "random", vis = TRUE )
```
Since the generated data are mixed data, we are using run the `bdgraph()` function by choosing `method = "gcgm"`, as follows:
```{r}
bdgraph.obj = bdgraph( data = data.sim, method = "gcgm", iter = 5000, verbose = FALSE )
```
To compare the result with the true graph, we could run
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
compare( bdgraph.obj, data.sim, main = c( "Target", "BDgraph" ), vis = TRUE )
```
```{r fig.align = 'center'}
plotroc( bdgraph.obj, data.sim, labels = "BDgraph", color = "blue" )
```
