running ./CausaltTrail in batch mode #1

Closed kingfish777 closed 7 years ago

kingfish777 commented 7 years ago

Greetings: Is it possible to run ./CausalTrail in batch mode? I'd like to be able to calculate estimates of counterfactual interventions in batch mode with my (pharmacovigilance) data. I attempted to do this, but all that I get is a console error: That is, to clarify, I would like to be able to run batch queries from the command line (without the GUI and without direct human intervention).
Thanks! Kingfish777 (Scott Malec)

./CausalTrail test/data/StudentData.txt ./student_batch.txt test/data/controlStudent.json test/data/Student.sif test/data/Student.na terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' what(): Unsupported file type Aborted (core dumped)

where student_batch.txt looks like this:

student_batch.txt ? Difficulty = d1 ? Difficulty = d1 ! do SAT = s0 ? Difficulty = d1 Letter = l0 ! do SAT = s0 ? Difficulty = d1 Letter = l0 Intelligence = i0 ! do SAT = s0 ? Difficulty = d1 Letter = l0 ! do SAT = s0

Thanks for your interest in CausalTrail. Unfortunately, it is not possible to run batch queries from the command line. This is supported by the GUI only.

Don't you think that this is a valid use-case for your software?

Florian411 commented 7 years ago

It is of course interesting, but as it is already implemented in the gui, it is not on the top priority list to add this also in the console version.

kingfish777 commented 7 years ago

I understand having a priority list. Would you mind if I went ahead and added that capability to the console in a new branch?

Feel free to do so.
