Nothing
#' No print (NoP) version of causeSummBlk summary causal paths from three criteria
#'
#' Allowing input matrix of control variables, this function produces
#' a 5 column matrix
#' summarizing the results where the estimated signs of
#' stochastic dominance order values, (+1, 0, -1), are weighted by
#' \code{wt=c(1.2,1.1, 1.05, 1)} to
#' compute an overall result for all orders of stochastic dominance by
#' a weighted sum for
#' the criteria Cr1 and Cr2 and added to the Cr3 estimate as: (+1, 0, -1).
#' The final range for the unanimity of sign index is [--100, 100].
#'
#' The reason for slightly declining weights on the signs from
#' SD1 to SD4 is simply that the higher order stochastic dominance
#' numbers are less reliable.
#' The summary results for all
#' three criteria are reported in one matrix called \code{out} but not printed:
#'
#' @param mtx {The data matrix with many columns, y the first column
#' is a fixed target and then it is
#' paired with all other columns, one by one, and still called x for the
#' purpose of flipping.}
#' @param blksiz {block size, default=10, if chosen blksiz >n, where n=rows in matrix
#' then blksiz=n. That is, no blocking is done}
#' @param nam {vector of column names for \code{mtx}. Default: colnames(mtx)}
#' @param ctrl {data matrix for designated control variable(s) outside causal paths}
#' @param dig {Number of digits for reporting (default \code{dig}=6).}
#' @param wt {Allows user to choose a vector of four alternative weights for SD1 to SD4.}
#' @param sumwt { Sum of weights can be changed here =4(default).}
#' @return If there are p columns in the input matrix, x1, x2, .., xp, say,
#' and if we keep x1 as a common member of all causal-direction-pairs
#' (x1, x(1+j)) for (j=1, 2, .., p-1) which can be flipped. That is, either x1 is
#' the cause or x(1+j) is the cause in a chosen pair.
#' The control
#' variables are not flipped. The printed output of this function
#' reports the results for p-1 pairs indicating which variable
#' (by name) causes which other variable (also by name).
#' It also prints strength or signed summary strength index in range [-100,100].
#' A positive sign of the strength index means x1 kernel causes x(1+j),
#' whereas negative strength index means x(1+j) kernel causes x1. The function
#' also prints Pearson correlation and its p-value. This function also returns
#' a matrix of p-1 rows and 5 columns entitled:
#' ``cause", ``response", ``strength", ``corr." and ``p-value", respectively
#' with self-explanatory titles. The first two columns have names of variables
#' x1 or x(1+j), depending on which is the cause. The `strength' column
#' has absolute value of summary index in range [0,100]
#' providing summary of causal results
#' based on preponderance of evidence from Cr1 to Cr3
#' from four orders of stochastic dominance, etc. The order of input columns matters.
#' The fourth column `corr.' reports the Pearson correlation coefficient while
#' the fifth column has the p-value for testing the null of zero Pearson coeff.
#' This function calls \code{siPairsBlk} allowing for control variables.
#' The output of this function can be sent to `xtable' for a nice Latex table.

#' @note The European Crime data has all three criteria correctly suggesting that
#' high crime rate kernel causes the deployment of a large number of police officers.
#' Since Cr1 to Cr3 near unanimously suggest `crim' as the cause of `off',
#' strength index 100 suggests unanimity.
