News

We are trying out a new Tetrad ReadTheDocs manual. Let us know if you can think of improvements we can make.

Tetrad Application

See our instructions for Installing the Tetrad Application.

Tetrad in Python

We have a project, py-tetrad, that allows you to incorporate arbitrary Tetrad code into a Python workflow. It's new, and the installation is still nonstandard, but it had a good response. This requires Python 3.5+. and Java JDK 21+.

Tetrad in R

We also have a project, rpy-tetrad, that allows you to incorporate some Tetrad functionality in R. It's also new, and the installation for it is also still nonstandard, but has gotten good feedback. This requires Python 3.5+ and Java JDK 21+.

Please see our description.

Tetrad at the Command Line

In addition, we have a fully developed tool, Causal Command, that lets you run arbitrary Tetrad searches at the command line.

Installallation for Programmers

Here's the git command to clone our project:

git clone https://github.com/cmu-phil/tetrad

Or, you can use GitHub's Code button.

If you have Maven installed, you can type the following to compile:

mvn clean compile

To run the unit tests:

mvn clean test

To generate an executable jar:

mvn clean package

The (launch) jar for the Tetrad Application will appear in the tetrad-gui/target directory. For links to our Python and R projects or our command line tool, please see our Tetrad web page.

Here are some instructions on how to set this project up in IntelliJ IDEA. You can run the Tetrad lifecycle package target and launch the "-launch" jar built in the target directory.

The project contains well-developed code in these packages:

• tetrad
• pitt
• tetradapp

The tetrad-lib package contains the model code; the tetrad-gui package contains the view (GUI) code.

A similar method can be followed for installing in some other IDE.
