    • Method Detail

      • getSignificanceLevel

        public double getSignificanceLevel()
        Gets the significance level used to accept or reject (conditional) independence tests.

        Statistical (conditional) independence tests return a p-value. The null hypothesis is that two nodes are (conditionally) independent. This is rejected if the p-value is less than the getSignificanceLevel().

        What this means is that links are more likely with higher significance levels.

        A value of 0.05 or 0.01 is usually assumed.

      • setSignificanceLevel

        public void setSignificanceLevel​(double value)
        Sets the significance level used to accept or reject (conditional) independence tests.

        Statistical (conditional) independence tests return a p-value. The null hypothesis is that two nodes are (conditionally) independent. This is rejected if the p-value is less than the getSignificanceLevel().

        What this means is that links are more likely with higher significance levels.

        A value of 0.05 or 0.01 is usually assumed.
