AcceptableMove: Check if move is acceptable.

In EDISON: Network Reconstruction and Changepoint Detection

Description

This function takes as input a new network proposal and checks that the proposal does not exceed the maximum number of parents for a node, and that there are no self loops (if self loops have been disallowed).

Usage

AcceptableMove(proposal, qmax, self.loops, target, fixed.edges)

Arguments

proposal	The proposed network (K-by-q matrix with K segments and q parent sets).
qmax	Maximum number of parents allowed.
self.loops	Flag indicating whether self loops are allowed.
target	The current target node (only needed to find out which parent would be the self loop).
fixed.edges	Which edges in the network should be fixed for all segments (q-by-q matrix with entries 0 for fixed non-edge, 1 for fixed edge, -1 for non-fixed edge).

Value

Returns TRUE if the proposed move is acceptable, FALSE otherwise.
