Identify all collider nodes in a DAG. A collider is a node with two or more parents.

Usage

query_colliders(.tdy_dag)

Arguments

.tdy_dag

A tidy_dagitty or dagitty object

Value

A tibble with columns:

  • node: The collider node

  • parent_set: String representation of parent nodes

  • parents: List column containing the parent nodes

  • is_activated: Logical indicating if the collider is conditioned on

Examples

library(ggdag)
dag <- dagify(
  z ~ x + y,
  w ~ z
)

query_colliders(dag)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 4
#>   node  parent_set parents   is_activated
#>   <chr> <chr>      <list>    <lgl>       
#> 1 z     {x, y}     <chr [2]> FALSE
