Hi everyone,
I'm not able to completely understand how the the result dictionary of PCMCI and the plotting function work. In particular, by having a look at the
val_matrix
and thegraph
parameters, I cannot understand why inval_matrix
there are non-zero coefficients in positioni,j
even if variablei
is not parent of variablej
or viceversa. I would have expected that such matrix had non-zero values for elements in each position only if the element in the same position ingraph
was non-zero, therefore encoding the coefficient of a structural causal model.In the attached screenshot we have a network with 2 links, but the
val_matrix
is almost non-zero everywhere.Thanks
