DG: Directed graphs

In ggm: Graphical Markov Models with Mixed Graphs

Directed graphs

Description

Defines the adjacency of a directed graph.

Usage

DG(...)

Arguments

...	a sequence of model formulae

Details

The directed graph is defined by a sequence of models formulae. For each formula the response defines a node of the graph and its parents. The graph contains no loops.

Value

the adjacency matrix of the directed graph, i.e., a square Boolean matrix of order equal to the number of nodes of the graph and a one in position (i,j) if there is an arrow from i to j and zero otherwise. The dimnames of the adjacency matrix are the labels for the nodes of the graph.
