Whittemore

Causal programming in Clojure.

Getting started

The easiest way to get started is with Leiningen (requires Java, OpenJDK 8 recommended). Once Leiningen is installed, create a new project:

lein new whittemore demo
cd demo

A REPL can be started from within the project directory:

lein repl

Rich output (HTML, images, LaTeX) is available in Jupyter notebooks. Once Jupyter installed:

lein jupyter install-kernel # first time only
lein jupyter notebook

Graphviz is recommended for rendering causal diagrams. Whittemore will automatically fallback to viz.cljc if Graphviz is not installed, but this is much slower.

Example Usage

(use 'whittemore.core)

(identifiable?
  (model
    {:x [],
     :z [:x],
     :y [:z]}
    #{:x :y})
  (data [:x :y :z])
  (q [:y] :do [:x]))
;=> true
