Check if it is an adjacency matrix of an ancestral graph

1	isAG(amat)

amat

Checks if the following conditions must hold: (i) no undirected edge meets an arrowhead; (ii) no directed cycles; (iii) spouses cannot be ancestors. For details see Richardson and Spirtes (2002).

A logical value, TRUE if it is an ancestral graph and FALSE otherwise.
