Description

Tests if an undirected graph is G-identifiable.

Usage

1
isGident(amat)

Arguments

amat

a symmetric matrix with dimnames representing the adjacency matrix of an undirected graph

Details

An undirected graph is said G-identifiable if every connected component of the complementary graph contains an odd cycle (Stanghellini and Wermuth, 2005). See also Tarantola and Vicard (2002).

Value

a logical value, TRUE if the graph is G-identifiable and FALSE if it is not.
