Independencies Induced from a Graphical Markov Model After Marginalization and Conditioning: The R Package ggm

We describe some functions in the R package ggm to derive from a given Markov model, represented by a directed acyclic graph, different types of graphs induced after marginalizing over and conditioning on some of the variables. The package has a few basic functions that find the essential graph, the...
