SEMgraph
Causal network inference and discovery with Structural Equation Modeling Network Analysis and Causal Learning with Structural Equation Modeling
SEMgraph Estimate networks and causal relations in complex systems through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SEMgraph comes with the following functionalities: - Interchangeable model representation as either an igraph object or the corresponding SEM in lavaan syntax. Model management functions include graph-to-SEM conversion, automated covariance matrix regularization, graph conversion to DAG, and tree (arborescence) from correlation matrices. - Heuristic filtering, node and edge weighting, resampling and parallelization settings for fast fitting in case of very large models. - Automated data-driven model building and improvement, through causal structure learning and bow-free interaction search and latent variable confounding adjustment. - Perturbed paths finding, community searching and sample scoring, together with graph plotting utilities, tracing model architecture modifications and perturbation (i.e., activation or repression) routes.
Installation
The latest stable version can be installed from CRAN:
r
install.packages("SEMgraph")
The latest development version can be installed from GitHub:
r
devtools::install_github("fernandoPalluzzi/SEMgraph")
Do not forget to install the SEMdata package too! It contains useful high-throughput sequencing data, reference networks, and pathways for SEMgraph training:
r
devtools::install_github("fernandoPalluzzi/SEMdata")
Getting help
A gentle introduction to SEMgraph functionalities is available at our DOCs page.
The full list of SEMgraph functions with examples is available at our website HERE.

Available datasets
Create updated pathway and reference network versions
SEMgraph and SEMdata reference datasets are freezed to benchmarked versions. If you would like to get the latest version of your favourite database, you can use either the R package graphite (graphite tutorial), or our simple wrapper function, contained in the R script loadPathwayData.R. The script comes with descriptions and examples.
