Essential graph

Description

Find the essential graph from a given directed acyclic graph.

Usage

essentialGraph(dagx)

Arguments

dagx	a square binary matrix, the adjacency matrix of a directed acyclic graph. The names of rows and of the columns are the nodes of the DAG.

Details

Converts a DAG into the Essential Graph. Is implemented by the algorithm by D.M.Chickering (1995).

Value

returns the adjacency matrix of the essential graph.
